Is there any way to speed up file transfer speed?

Is there any way to speed up file transfer speed?
I backup 4tb to my other 4tb drive it took me 7 hours with 130mb/s speed Its so slow

No

Maybe

yes

Industrial magnets speed up the flow of electrons resulting in higher transfer speeds, like a railgun

get ssds

Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is to compress the files.

Buy HDDs that run at 250MB/s
Buy SSD that run even faster

Or transfer less during your backups with like borgbackup.

Get faster drives.
ssd, optane, RAMdrive...

buy another pair and use them in raid

put a heating pad on the drive during the transfer. it will make it spin 10% faster

Don't transfer redundant data every time you backup, which is probably what you're doing if you're making 4 tb backups. Only update files that have been modified/added since your last backup (similar to git repo updates)

No.

Just Overclock your HDD user.

You think that's bad? I'm in the middle of restoring a 3TB backup from a USB 2.0 external drive to a NAS over 100Mb/s ethernet. I'm 24 hours in and 25% done.

What about bcache?

>3TB backup from a USB 2.0 external drive
This is the commodore tapedrive experience of the current day. God speed son.

This, use rsnapshot if you can.

copy it over

then sync it whenever you've made changes on the original copy

100 mb/s and 3TB and you're only 25% done after 24 hours? fuck off with your bullshit

You assume the ethernet speed is the bottleneck here.

No, dipshit. A 100 mb/s transfer rate of 3TB should be done in 4-5 hours.

copyhandler if you're on windows, mv -nv on linux

use rsync so subsequent updates only need to transfer changes instead of the entire 4TB again

>I conveniently lay aside the fact that a usb 2.0 connection can't fucking reach 100mb/s speeds just so I don't look like a jackass for not reading properly

>guys i'm getting 100 mb/s

kys retard, back to your cuckshed

stay mad

it is, USB2 can do ~40MiB/s (480Mb/s without overhead), while fast ethernet can only do ~11MiB/s (100Mb/s without overhead)
3TB is 2,861,023MiB, at 11MiB/s, that'll take 72 hours, or 3 days

I never said I'm getting 100 mb/s. I said it's going to a NAS using 100 mb/s ethernet connection. As in, not gigabit. But I see that you're too stupid to know that cheaper or older devices usually don't use gigabit ethernet and infer the meaning from that, on top of your lack of reading comprehension.

(at least, assuming 11MiB continuous, if he's doing a file-level copy, small files can slow that down considerably, since most hdd's can't even do 11MiB/s with small files)

>A 100 mb/s transfer rate of 3TB should be done in 4-5 hours.
Even at 1gbps that would take 7 hours.

at 100mbps, it's like 71-72 hours.

1gbps is 100 mb/s

no, 1gbps is 125MB/s

100mb/s is 12.5MB/s

>1000 megabits per second = 100 megabits per second
what are numbers?

you are fucking retarded

Xps and X/s mean the same thing, they're not related to whether they're bits or bytes, that is determined by case
1Mbps = 1 megabit per second
1MBps = 1 megabyte per second

>1024k = 1mb
or
>1000k = 1mb

(also, "M" is mega and "m" is milli, though since milli is never used in the context of computer data, it can be assumed one meant mega)

This thread is full of idiots kek. I invented the solution to this last year.

Not exactly, but there's a way to achieve the same end result faster. You need that both drives have the same filesystem and allocation block size, the smaller the size the better because you're gonna create verification sums for every block on the empty space (the physical values are still there) and some of them will collide with groups of bits from the original disk. That way you don't have to lose time when data is traveling through the bus (sums are shorter than the actual data and collision proof if the set of bits is short enough), and every time a collision is found you just copy the headers and inodes into the filesystem of the destination disk. You can expect to save about 0.7-3% of the time and it will consume some 85% more CPU.

keep it on at night when doing a backup? and use tapes since its cheap if you are going to archive it

you're supposed to use bigger sectors and not smaller ones

4k is the optimal
