I would recommend using a migration tool rather than drag and drop. Microsoft offers the free Migration Manager that's simple to use for scenarios like this.

The reason being is that if you use the drag and drop method, you'll be throttled and/or it won't complete successfully. Using a migration tool like MM will first send it at full speed into an Azure blob storage account and then SPO will ingest it from there (which can still be slow, but at least you don't have to wait for it on your PC).

    You'd get an error, yes. But that is a significant amount of data and you're likely going to be throttled.
