Reduce? I wouldn't complain if it went faster. I think it is about as fast as it is going to get tho. I may one day try to get a fiber card to go between my computer and some sort of NAS box or something. I'm slowly building up my number of rigs so I can separate some things around. I got my old Gigabyte 770T running but no case yet. I use it for my backups instead of the old Dell Inspiron. Actually, I found a good deal on a CPU cooler last night for the new build and bought it. About half price or so. Reviews claim it is a really nice cooler. Fairly good size with two fans. While I'm not sure what is keeping me from copying as fast as the drives themselves can go, I suspect it is the encryption. I think for these old CPUs, it uses more CPU time. Htop with the meters shows the CPU doing something but not exactly what. I'm pretty sure it is either encryption, LVM or both. Now it's time for my weekly pokings at the Doctor and my weekly grocery shopping. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
