I appologise for the lenghth of this post. In the life of my PC (Win 11) it has experienced one major upgrade and two catastophic breakdowns. For the record these events were unrelated and spread of several years. The good news is that despite this I have not lost any data, mostly photo files.
The bad news is that I now have multiple versions of the original folder structure stored on different hard drives and therefore multiple versions of SOME individual files. In many cases the folders contain slightly different combinations of the files. I am using the LrC catalogues to locate the folder and files.
At the momewnt I am opening indiviual folders and copying the file into a version of the same folder held on a differnt drive. This resulted in the recipeient drive being over loaded. On that basis I have invested in a 2TB Crucial X10 which has fixed the capacity problem but I am still left with an excrusiatingly slow process prone to me making a mistake.
Is there any tweak or work round in LrC where multple drives can be searched for duplicates of the same file?

You could try using 3rd party plugins. 3 are mentioned in this article: https://www.mindgems.com/article/lightroom-duplicate-finder-delete-duplicate-photos/
