Data Transfer | Fastest Way?

[Moluccan]

Hi,

I have a Asustor NAS Hard Drive (ext4) and I need to copy data (1.6Tb) from my Hard Drive to my (new) FreeNAS.

My question; what's the fastest way to do this?

As a test I a have used the scp command:

• Mounted my Asustor Hard Drive to my laptop running on Ubuntu (Hard Drive in USB3 Docking Station)
• And used the following command: scp -rp Docs root@192.168.1.2:/mnt/Asustor_Import/AsustorShare/Docs

The folder Docs is one of the folders I have to copy, but the transfer is not that fast.
The FreeNAS and the Ubuntu machine are both connected to the same Switch with a 1Gbps connection.

Any idea if there is a better way to transfer the 1.6Tb to my FreeNAS?

Or maybe I have to deal with this speed, but I am already very happy that I can copy my Asustor NAS Data because my Asustor NAS died.

Update after the test with scp:
I think I have to use rsync, I can't open some (.pdf and .xlsx) files, also after updating the permissions/group/owner.

The following files have been stored on the FreeNAS server:

• -rwxrwxrwx+ 1 Eugene wheel uarch 3206344 Sep 12 2017 powerpoint.pdf*
• -rwxrwxrwx+ 1 Eugene wheel uarch 54119 Sep 16 08:55 excel.xlsx*

I can open the pdf-file, but I cannot open the xlsx-file (also not the other Excel files).

No idea why??????
