What sort of data data transfer can I expect with home grown P2V?
This post is (one of the very few) for my own reference.
Often you will want to ghost/image the drives of a physical machine into a virtual machine. If you are doing this you can expect:
- To an external usb drive, about 400 meg a min or 8.5 gig in about 22 minutes
- Gigabit networking makes a difference. A 1.6 Gb VHD file copy will take 2:36 on Gig vs 8:51 on 100 Meg
