I have no idea where the problem is, but I doubt if it is due to Beyond Compare. Still, I have to ask this question:
I just built up a Buffalo TeraStation NAS, Model TS-TGL70C, with two 2TB Hitachi DeskStar (7200rpm, 32MB cache) hard drives configured as a RAID1 array. The Ethernet port on the Buffalo is rated as a 1000Mbps port.
The firmware version is 1.12.
I did a test run, transferring approximately 513GB of music files from a USB 2.0 drive on a Dell GX260 desktop through the Dell's 1000Mbps network port via a wired network with a single 1000Mbps switch also rated at 1000Mbps and then directly into the TeraStation's port.
I used the latest version of Beyond Compare (Scooter Software) to sync the NAS with the USB.
It took 25 hours to complete the file transfer! This is an average transfer rate of 45.6 Mbps, far short of what USB 2.0 and a 1000Mbps network and either hard drive setup should be capable of delivering.
Where's the bottleneck?
