Cam Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I have 10TB of Movies to copy to a new drive. I want to make sure the files are transfered over as orderly as possible Does "rebalancing" write files sequentially to a new drive? If not should I instead transfer them another way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Shane Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 As I understand it, balancing is optimised for reliability and background priority, not maximising speed. In my own experience I find it copies a couple of files at a time rather than one file at a time, but it still manages a reasonable speed so I don't bother with a manual transfer unless there's some kind of deadline involved. EDIT: I'm running a manual rebalance now with increased priority selected and it's copying one file at a time (averaging about 90MB/sec), so it may depend on what it needs to balance and how many drives are involved?
