hi,
The file copy process is slow.it takes around 1 hour for every 10 GB.

Thanks.

I doubt it is going to be that slow, but it will depend on so many factors that the best thing to do is calculate it yourself.

Copy a 50mb (or 500mb) file from the original location to the destination, time it and then multiply.

It is far from the most scientific way, but it is practical, and relatively accurate.
