[Syncing A Large Drive - Please Help]

Hi!

 

I'm trying to sync my internal data drive (drive A) with a firewire drive (drive

(both drives are 2TB, out of which 1.6 is full. drive A is actually a software raid array inside my mac, made of two 2TB drives. should it matter)

 

I've been using drive B to back drive A manually, using Carbon Copy Cloner, so when I started BTsync, both drives already contained the same data.

 

 

I connected drive B to my home machine (via firewire) and starting syncing. When drive A was about to finish indexing, drive B only did about 40GB of indexing and it looked as if it's going to take forever.

 

questions:

 

1. how long is the drive B indexing going to take and why is it so slow compared to internal drive?

2. let's say I index drive A first, then manually sync it to drive B, would I save the indexing time, as a side effect of copying the index data?

 

thanks!
