When I upgrade media, I lament not having 10Gb interfaces on my
machines.  It takes a long time to transfer two 4T drives onto
an 8T drive.  Even with multiple interfaces.  Repeat for a few
dozen 8T drives and you see a lot of time "wasted".

But, it's something you can just tell the machine to do and walk
away.  People are foolish buying performance when elapsed time
isn't a true constraint.
