Ultra2: 500Gb backup in 10 hours to USB 3.0 HDD?
Hi,
Last weekend I made a backup of around 500Gb from my Ultra2 to an USB 3.0 HDD (IOmega eGo) on the frontport. Frontview shows the HDD is connected with a speed of 5000 and the IOmega eGo is a 2.5 inch USB powered device (no own power supply, however, there is a split Y cable with it and I only use 1 connector).
It took almost 10 hours for the backup job to finish. 500Gb in 10 hours is 50Gb per hour, which is about 14MB per second. I have fast USB writes enabled. The files
14MB per second does not sound like a USB 3.0 speed to me. Is this normal?
:cry:

- If the file which you copy is very small and scattered, theoretically, it will take a long time;If the file is large and complete, it will spend less time.
