Hello,
I just did a fresh install of ESXI 6.7 on my home lab server. (i7 2600 on intel motherboard)
The VMs are running fine, all stored on SSD.
I wanted to make a backup of the VMs from the SSD on a WD 1TB drive and the transfer is extremely slow.
For example, a Windows 10 VM thin provisioned that use actually about 30 GB took more than 2 hours.
I did the copy with the datastore management.
Is that any normal?
I remember on ESXI 5.5 the transfer was way more quicker.
Exact setup is:
- intel i7 2600
- motherboard intel DZ77GA-70K
- Samsung 860 EVO SSD and WD Blue 1To (both VMFS 6)
- Both drives connected to the same sata controller (intel one)
Thanks a lot for the help, and have a nice day!
