I have a folder on one of my SSD drives that takes 8 to 10 hours to back

it's using up a little bit over half of a cluster on average. File
system is NTFS.

Meanwhile, this same drive can backup the remainder of the drive in
under 2 hours, and the remainder of the drive is 390 GB! Is NTFS this
inefficient for small files like this?

Hi Yousuf,

When I see things like this, it is usually a failing
drive, especially when the index on teh offending
directory never finishes.

This will show up like a soar thumb if yo run your
drive through gsmartcontrol: check the error logs and
run the self tests
