Hi,

On a good wired gigabit network; restoring a Sooloos backup from a USB 2 connected drive should yield a restore rate of about 40 seconds per album. With a USB 3 or direct eSATA drive this can be halved two around 20 seconds.

Can you confirm that Control:PC is running on machine hard wired to your network and not connected via WiFi?

I had an Ensemble on lone once, I do recall it takes longer (circa 30 mins) to format a disk then say MD600, but an hour does seem a bit too long.

Regards,
Carl
