thug_osx86 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Did fresh install of Sierra (vanilla), and USB seems to be running well (Write benchmark to USB 3.0 drive @ 135MBps). Time Machine, however has only backed up 100GB in 27 hours. At this rate, it will take days to backup ~450GB.Any idea what might be going on here? Machine config is: Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3 (rev. 2.1 / F9) CPU: Intel LGA1150 Core i7 @ 4.0 Ghz Graphics: Gigabyte GV-N970G1 Gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thug_osx86 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 I didn't take any additional steps on USB as it appears to be working properly according to the Blackmagic benchmarks. Read and write speeds are great, it's just Time Machine that is creeping along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
