Hello everyone, I would like your opinion on the time it might take to transfer 1TB because I have a hard drive to transfer to another, and I don't like leaving the computer on when I'm not around. I already have a good idea that it could be long, lol... thanks.

    Good evening!

    Assuming that your hard drives are USB 3.0 and connected to a USB 3.0 port, and that the average speed is 90 MB/s... that gives about 3h15 min.
    At the maximum speed... that is 130 MB/s... that gives about 2h25.
    At the minimum speed, which is 60 MB/s... that gives 5h15.

    Knowing that 1048576 MB = 1 TB ;-)

    Have a good evening!
