I am trying to copy the contents of one drive on a another one, 3tb onto a 4tb drive. My transfer speeds are all over the place from 10 mb/s to 100+. Its advising me 1 day to copy 3tb.....

Two harddrives are for storage of images and video so TIFF & 4k video.

Can anything be done to increase this or is it simply read and write.

Transfer rates will vary a lot largely dependant on the size of the files being copied at that point in time.

Big files get a good stream going. Small files involve lots of directory work and head movements.

like Stevie says, it depends on the size of the files. Big files will transfer much much quicker, smaller files will confuse the hell out of windows explorer and will mean your estimated time varies quite wildly.

I would download something like freefilesync (or use command line if you're comfortable) so that it's much easier to restart if things get interrupted, even more likely on a long copy such as this.

I thought taking just over a couple of hours for about 3TB was slow.

Personally... I would image the 3TB to the 4TB drive, once complete expand the partition on the 4TB drive from 3TB to 4TB.
