rsync to unassigned disk (USB 3.0) slow

Featured Replies

Hi there,

I´m trying to backup my media files to transfer them to another server.

Disk is a 16TB Toshiba placed in an external case and connected to the server via USB 3.0.

 

When I run rsync -> rsync -avh -P "/mnt/user/Media/" "/mnt/disks/16TB/"

my write performnance to the external disk is very slow -> around 30-45MB/s.

 

Is this happening due to the (maybe weak) controller in the external case?

When I connect the disk directly to the server will this increase write speeds?

 

Thank you!

Sounds like USB2 speeds, are the enclosure and cable USB3?

Yes to both and brand new (arrived today).

Maybe I found the reason and my own mistake...

Checked processes and found that rsync is running 3 times:

How can I kill/end them?
