Creating File takes over 24 hopurs

I am trying to synchronise about 2TB of data between 2 hard drives.
After over 24 hours, it is still creating files, occasionally saying it cannot read attributes.
Can anyone solve this?
Thanks
Frank

Windows? NTFS drives? Sounds like the source drive is going bad or has some corruption based on the minimal info I can go off of. Hard drives are slow, especially for a lot of smaller files

Windows 7
NTFS
Source drive is running raid10 and all good.

Tried again. After 26 hours, created 19 files (5.26MB)

So definitely not between two drives...
Check the smart data of the drives. I would also try a test sync between a different standalone source drive and that same destination drive and see what happens. How fast does it copy if you manually copy-paste in File Explorer?
