GOT-DAMN it's SLOW! I'm exporting a 257 GB music folder from a Windows unit to a 2TB external, it's rating in at a 23 hour transfer. That's just damned ridiculous. By the GODS, MAN! |
That is a LOT of music 
I only have about 35Gb and that's like 700+ albums and like a month straight of music. Do you own every commercially recorded note of music sold? Own a controlling interest in iTunes. 
But yeah......USB takes a while. I love my new Jeep...has a hard drive....I cats transfer my music to the Hd and have my music with me.....no need to keep a USB in the vehicle

Amateurs!  I have a 600GB library (over 85,000 songs). It takes about 7 hours to duplicate via USB.

My entire collection weighs in @ 1.6TB.

By the GODS, MAN! http://www.snail-world.com/images/top_snail_facts.jpg Your hard drive on the windows machine is probably ready to die. That and it's not accurate calculating the time remaining, it can get close, but when there are thousand of small different size files, it doesn't not accurately calculate. If you had one large 257gb file, it'd tell you exactly how much time is left. You should see my customer's faces when they think a data transfer will take 2-3 hours, then after a minutes or so it goes down to like 15-20 minutes. Also, how old is this computer? USB 1 will only transfer at about 12mbps max. |

USB 1 will only transfer at about 12mbps max. It's a fairly new HP portable, and the transfer is almost done. False readings at first shocked me! It's USB 2. I'm then gonna run a "dupe" script on it via my MBP, as many files are redundant. I wanted the file on an external in case the script fails. |
