On a 2012 IMAC, transferring 500GB from a FW800 drive. The computer doesn't have a FW800 port, so I'm using an adapter that connects via thunderbolt.
Transferring from the FW800 to a USB3 drive took about 2 hours.
Transferring from the FW800 to a thunderbolt drive estimated time is 6 hours?
I thought thunderbolt would be faster than USB3, I'm shocked at the estimated time,
is it that slow because they are using the same thunderbolt bus?
They each have their own port, I'm not daisy chaining.
