Breast milk storage

I have been freezing breast milk in the fridge freezer until now. Hubby and I are planning to buy a deep freezer. Can I move the fridge freezer milk to deep freezer and increase it life for up to 6 months. I wasn't sure as the milk is in the fridge freezer for few days now.

Also, any suggestions regarding deep freezer?
