kelemvor Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Hi, I've been using Sync for years and it works great. I'm going to be replacing my main media computer and changing to a Synology NAS. I need to do a dump of multiple terabytes of data from the computer (Windows) to the NAS. I'm just wondering if setting up a sync between the two would theoretically be any faster or slower than just doing a copy/paste from within Windows. I know there are other options like Robocopy and stuff like that, but I just want so the fastest way to do this initial dump where I can just click Go and come back when it's done. Thanks.

eltopo Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Since you are transferring files from 1 computer to another 1 computer, from the way how RSL works, most likely RSL will be slower than direct copying in Explorer. RSL, on the other hand, works much better for transferring/synchronizing data between multiple peers. I would still prefer RSL to Explorer even for 1-to-1 copying if I planned to use RSL later on these 2 computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
