If I do the former, then I need a new disk for the computer if I were to sell it or otherwise keep it functional, don't I? And disks, especially these days, are not cheap.

Let's say I want to preserve my computer disks when I do a major change (i.e. 10TB worth of NAS or just 4TB worth of workstation) or when I sell it or just throw it away. What do I do?
