I have an old film project I worked on that I had backed up to 3 different drives for space reasons. 7 years later, I'm backing things up and I can fit everything on a 6 TB drive!

So, whats the best way to do this? Should I make a disc image as a backup for each drive? I want the ability to potentially edit with the stuff later, so should I partition the new drive into 3?
 
If the drives contain unique folder names, why not just copy them all onto the one drive?
 
Agree with HDFan.
If the ONLY reason you had to use 3 separate drives was "space", and you now have a drive "big enough" to hold everything... just copy everything to that drive and be done with it.
 
My only worry is I'll need to reconnect everything in Final Cut....but if all the folders have unique names....you're right. I'll check that out...
