February 15, 201511 yr I am transferring all the data on one disk to another so I can format it to XFS and I am getting a write speed of 1.5mb per sec, is that normal? The drive the data is coming off of is WDC_WD1502FAEX and the drive it is going to is WDC_WD20EZRX. They are both connected to mobi via a sata cable to a 6gb connection. I don't have any dockers or plugins running.
February 15, 201511 yr Author I initiated the move via my laptop that is running ubuntu. I highlighted all the folders on disk 4 and dragged them to disk 5. It is showing a speed of 1.8mbs now.

Im not certain but that might cause all the data to be read down from the server to your laptop running ubuntu then back up to the server. Most folks use midnight commander from a ssh prompt on the server itself or use their own rsync command line directly on the server.
February 16, 201511 yr Yes, that's a normal speed. The way you initially did it was causing the data to go from the server to your laptop, and then to the server -- and from the speed you noted I suspect your laptop is connected wirelessly (is that correct) ?? If you were connected via a Gb link, it wouldn't make any difference whether you did it that way or directly on the server.
February 16, 201511 yr ... by the way, be sure you're doing these moves to the DISK shares -- NOT to the user shares. There's a serious bug with writes to the user shares that would cause you to lose virtually all of the data you're moving !!
