• Destroy data – destroy all data on the old disk.

If you are going to sell or give away your old disk, we recommend that you make sure

you destroyed the data on it.
If you are going to keep it for data storage, you can create a new partition layout on it. In

this case, the disk will be ready right after cloning is complete.
To protect yourself from unforeseen consequences, it would be better to leave the old

disk data intact, as you will be able to delete it later.
