Quite simply, I've got these three drives (ssd, 2 mech) I want to copy to my NAS. The mechs I will be copying in the region of 1.2TB over, the SSD 80GB. What is the best way to do this? I started the SSD just simply copying from folder to folder. Windows estimated completion at 5hrs 30min. 2 hrs later it was on 10% - averaging speed around 8MBs. Is there a better way or is it going to be a case of waiting a day or so for it copy it all?
Teracopy or FTP it. Make sure all connections are 1GB for best use of bandwidth but it'll take a while.
I'm guessing the NAS is in some sort of RAID setup so you can't just pop it into your desktop and copy over SATA3.
Sorry I checked the post and forgot to put anything. I was lead to believe taking them out of the NAS and putting them in the PC wouldn't work as the NAS has its own formatting and they won't be able to be read? But anyhow, I got a couple of cat6 cables, mine were 5e. Certainly sped it up. Or at least the FTP started showing 40-100MiB/s compared to the 10MB/s before... Or are they the same? lol I'm too stupid for his stuff. But thanks for the suggestions
Even a shitty GigE router these days will give you the full 100MB/s. It's probably your disk speeds that's limiting. Try CMD xcopy /s/e or RichCopy/RoboCopy: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2009.04.utilityspotlight.aspx
I've just copied data from a wonky single disk NAS. I took the drive out and put it into my old USB2 docking station. I couldn't read the disk in a Windows machine because it was using an XFS filesystem... I rebooted from a live Ubuntu DVD and could see and transfer the data...
