To move WoW to your new HDD efficiently, you can use the built-in transfer feature in WoW.

Conclusion
Moving WoW from one HDD to another can be done manually by copying the WoW folder and changing the path file on Battle.net, but it's not recommended due to the large folder size and risk of file damage or corruption during migration. Instead, we suggest using a professional program transfer tool to ensure a foolproof and efficient transfer process.
