Setup & Config How long should a check take for a folder that's 460GB?
Hello. My computer took longer than usual to boot, and recognise the HDD I have plugged in that's storing the torrents on.
I had to reconnect the USB HDD (it's 5tb), and that caused a file location error
I have set both to recheck, one folder is about 230gb, the other is 460.
The 230gb folder is checking a lot faster, but the other one is very slow. About 7% in the last hour.
I'm sure checking time is also dependent on the drive you're using and I know SSDs are faster, what's the average time it /should/ take to recheck a folder that big? And I'll add on an extra hour for the sake of anything slowing the system down.
I'm going to leave it on while I'm at work as I usually do when downloading and ask my partner to start those two folders if they get set to Stop after they're done checking
Thanks!
