Re: [Avid-L2] Optimizing drive transfer speed when copying two files to a usb ext drive?

 

To my understanding, rsync 3 doesn't speed up the transfer of files, just speeds up rsync. If you're going for speed, I've had success using ditto in the terminal.  It seems to be faster than rsync and my files accurately copy down to the very last bite.  The command I use (without parenthesis) is:

ditto -V (directory) (directory)

V for verbosity which shows you transfer information.  Without it, ditto will only tell you when the entire process is complete. 

The directories in ditto work a little different from rsync in that the source directory will copy everything inside of it, whereas rsync will include the actual source folder that you type into the command.

Ditto also seems to be a little friendlier with LTO.
