Yeah, my 60 GB weekly backup set takes about 3 hours to get on disc.
DVDs are nothing compared to that.

That is burning 55GB to a 100GB-capable BD-R/M-disc, using USB-3 to an
external Pioneer M-Disc compatible BD-R drive.

Oof. Even copying files with USB between HDDs is slow enough for me. Haha.

 

Might be a issue with your computer? That's weird.

 
Like overnight, I copied 455 GB that took about 1.5 hrs. ;P

From what media to what media?

Using what data path?

Internal SATA 7200 RPM 2 GB HDD to external 2.5" 5 TB USB3 HDDs.
