Hi, a long-time lurker here. If 480 GiB are transferred over 16 hours,
the implied transfer rate is 70 Mbps. If 480 GB are transferred, the
implied rate is 66 Mbps. Both transfer rates are consistent with network
interfaces that are in common use (100 Mbps Ethernet). They may or may
not be consistent with internal system interfaces (SSDs are supposed to
have much greater bandwidth). If both disks live in the same computer
and the computer isn't a SBC bitty box, the transfer rate is weirdly
low.
