I recently found a box of hard drives in my house and have been using
ddrescue to pull the data off of them. These drives were not that old,
around 1gb each. Desktop drives. I was amazed at how slow they were
relative to today's drives... 2MB/sec? 5MB/sec? My internet connection
is faster than that now.
Also, found a dead 5.25" Quantum hard drive... forgot how huge those
are. Weighed a ton and it was built like a tank.
Your new drive will probably go around 100-150MB/sec or so on
sequential writes. So you can do the math and figure out how many
hours that will take.
