Posted October 30, 2019 My username is quite ironic. Currently cloning about 160 Gb from a nearly dead hard drive from a very old optiplex to a new Kingston SATA SSD, how long should I expect this to take because I cannot be in the location this is occuring all night and the Hard drive is currently hovering around 5-10 Mb/s on resource monitor.

It could finish up within an hour, or continue trying to copy for weeks until the failing hardware inside the drive finally dies.

Posted October 30, 2019 You're unlikely to get a usable image off that drive. Better off just pulling what ever files you need off of it before it completely dies. Are you sure it's not MB/s? Either way that's a snails pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's been going for 10 minutes and its at 2% so gonna be here a while lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one here can give you an accurate estimate of how long this will take, the drive is limping along and it may not finish at all. GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious if anyone had done anything similar to give me some hope of finishing this quickly,but its moving about a 1% per minute now so I think I should be alright.
