AH! A PC hard drive transfer question. Great timing.
I have six hard drives (HDDs). Recently upgraded my OS (C) drive to an SSD.
Used Acronis software, and it worked great.
Now my H drive is bogging my system down, and I just received another 2TB SSD to replace it.
Shouldn’t be that difficult to clone a non-boot OS drive, right?

What are you doing with H:? Page File? Lot's of writes?

Heavy writes will kill an SSD. Have you optimized H: lately?

Should be pretty easy. But if your “H” drive is just a data drive you could probably just copy it and then remove the old drive, rather than having to use cloning software.
