I'm not sure that's "better", just somewhat convenient. Or is it? I'd just hang the old drive on there long enough to image it to the new drive (overnight, 0 labor), then disconnect it. Then you'd have the browsable image right there. When you haven't referred to the image for a few weeks, delete it. Or split it and burn to DVD, then delete it.
