The actual read/write speed should be awfully slow. His screenshot estimates that 322mb will be transferring 18hours!

I use this and transfer speeds are around 5-6MB/s. That's because both the hard drive and Ethernet share the USB bus. And it's completely fine, took around 6 hours to backup 90GB from my MacBook Air.

It is 357GB total that it is backing up that will take 18 hours. :)

laptop backup is done over wifi right ? wouldn't that be the limiting factor ?
