Best way to copy 2TB data onto NAS
Hello, I have an external hdd that has approx. 2TB of data on it. I want to copy it all onto my NV+ I can either: Connect external drive via usb direct to the nas (front ot back usb, does ...
not really.
using usb connection on nv+ will be slowest, but on the hand if time is not important you can simply set a backup job to pull data from usb and copy to whatever share.
2nd fastest would be ext drive to usb on PC, then copy across gigabit network (PC usb will be faster than NV+ usb. nv+ has like a 400MHZ processor, pc has GHZ processor).
most fastest is connect ext drive to ESATA or take out of external box and hook to inside pc sata, then copy across network.
