Data Migration to WHS

To tell the truth: I knew, my NAS was slow… but that slow? To copy roughly 28.000 Files from my digital image library to my regular PC took just about 12 hours. The average transfer speed finally came out to be 1.5MB per second. Now I am sending them over to the Windows Home Server – at a speed of around 18-20 MB/s – already showing that the decision to move away from the NAS has been a good one. The current forecase to copy the data is about 1h – that’s more than 10 times faster than the connection to the NAS.
