Melco – copy speed – glacier-like slow / Your experience?

[Lorenz]

Hi Peter & Simon.

Cable is Melco's very own CAT7 cable – C1AE 1m length. Should be a perfect match. Anyhow: Have another one, brand new from the shop, will install tomorrow for another spin.

Went to the movies today and did two tests meanwhile – 35GB from my Mac mini towards a Synology DS718+ and the same 35GB from the same machine to my Melco.

MELCO_35GB_56MIN
SYNOLOGY_35_05MIN

1:10 ratio – NOT GOOD :-(.

With regards to 500GB of files to copy: NONONO – I don't do this every time. Not even often. This is my complete library. Which I only copy in full if I install new hardware like disks. Or if I do some major changes to the meta data and want to have "clean" files as a complete set. Other than that, Chronosync only copies a fraction of the data – either new audio files or ones that have changed...

Best, Lorenz
