Title: Fast HDD copying LOL
Post by: Data on March 20, 2014, 16:47:06 PM
I had to copy 170 GIG of data from one hard drive to another today, both connected up to SATA and pretty good drives, lots of little files though, it shocked me when Windows reported that it would take "About 1 Day" to do.   :o  :LOL:

Just did a quick calculator and that speed for that size is about 1 hour.

Is it still going?

In reality it took about 45 mins and was averaging around 45 MB/Second.

Yet another example of the concept of a "Microsoft Minute (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Microsoft+Minute)". :D Before computers they were called "Mechanics Minutes", and before that, who knows?
