The first day's transfer just completed and it took about 1hr 10
minutes for 101GB, from du -h, which I think is in terms of 1024. So
that's like 24.6MB/s which admittedly appears to be around the maximum
real world data transfer rate for USB 2.0. According to some reviews
of this WD model, the Firewire was supposedly up to 1/3 faster (they
had figures of 35MBps vs 44Mbps).
So I am hoping to see a similar speed from the Firewire here to save
some 20 minutes of waiting time, a whole week's backup would be almost
2.5 hours of savings!
Going to reboot the system now with the new kernel and hopes I don't
lose the NIC or something :D
The problem with Firewire is that you need
a) a "good" chip in the controller
b) a "good" chip in the Firewire-to-SATA controller in the external
unit (there are no native firewire disks...)
That's what makes IEEE1394 always a bit of a gamble.
There's a reason someone came up with this eSATA stuff...
