I thought he mentioned that he had only 544GB of content. I'm not sure why he would need two new 2TB drives concatenated to hold a half TB of his stuff.

In fact, I don't know why he needs his current 1TB and 2TB drives for only 544GB.

As best I can tell, all he needs is some temporary disk space to move his content from his existing drives. He could potentially use the internal disk on his new Mac. Then format those existing external drives "Mac OS Extended" and move his files back onto them.

Whatever he needs to do, it's not rocket science!

  On the other hand, maybe he has other items on those two external disks besides his 544GB of music. I'm not sure because the OP has not been clear on his setup and his specific goals.

      But about that 544GB you mentioned... Is that the total of your music and does it reside on one 1TB drive or some on the 2TB drive as well. What I am not understanding is why you have a 1TB drive and a 2TB drive if all you have is 544GB of music content.
      
      I'm not trying nit pick, but knowing the specifics is important for knowing how you might proceed and what you might need.
      
      If I assume that all you have is 544GB that you are concerned with, then I would tell you to put it on the 1TB drive, reformat your 2TB drive, copy the 544GB over to the 2TB drive, now reformat the 1TB drive.... or whatever.
      
      So it's still not clear to me but if you're satisfied with the answers you've received so far, I'll butt out. ;-)
