After a lot of searching I found how to: enable ssh and connect installed pkgs and RandomTools use rsync which at least says it is transferring at 35-50MB/s which means I could do the whole thing again in less than a day (buts thats still way slower than I would have expected over USB3 and the cpu is still pegged at 100%…

I plugged the USB drive into the NAS box and then used the BackupPlanner 'copy button'. The problem with that was first time I clicked the create a new folder option, so it placed the whole volume in a sub/sub folder named '2018--6-30_09-41-33'/Extvolume1 the timestamp of when it started the job. I now can't choose 'sync'…

cp 16.67 python 8.33 kworker/u2:2 9.09 python 8.33 (its in the list twice) nothing else in the list but UI shows 100% in chart and desktop I had disabled the Twonky Server for now and loaded the file to a new share hopefully to avoid any internal processing until later

One and a half days and reached half way!! One thing I have noticed is that the CPU is just pegged at 100% for the whole time not sure why copying files should be CPU intensive and I guess this is what is limiting the speed. So far it seems you get what you pay for with this NAS.

1TB in 24h - The external drive is USB3.0 which is why I thought it was slow, also using the correct cable as the case uses a Type B connector. Guess will just have to wait another couple of days for it to finish :( Thanks anyway Rob
