a	LOCAL
b	cp	b-cp	09:55.66	00:00.14	00:19.14	5.7GB-VM.vmdk /raid/media/VMs/	cp between local file systems on a single machine. Different HDDs were used.
c	rsync	c-rsync	09:34.96	01:07.05	00:38.56	5.7GB-VM.vmdk /raid/VMs/	rsync between local file systems on a single machine. Different HDDs were used.
d	bigsync	d-bigsync	10:55.92	01:28.91	00:26.96	-s 5.7GB-VM.vmdk -d /raid/VMs/	bigsync between local file systems on a single machine. Different disk hardware was involved.
e	bigsync	e-bigsync	02:22.65	01:30.99	00:04.80	-s 5.7GB-VM.vmdk -d /raid/VMs/	bigsync on a local machine. No changes between source and target files. This run appeared to initialize a checksum data file.
f	bigsync	f-bigsync	01:31.17	01:29.58	00:01.52	-s 5.7GB-VM.vmdk -d /raid/VMs/	bigsync on a local machine. No file changes. Disk caches probably helped.
g	bigsync	g-bigsync	03:19.95	01:29.52	00:10.96	-b 512 -s 5.7GB-VM.vmdk -d /raid/VMs/	Same as last run, different block size
h	bigsync	h-bigsync	03:10.93	01:49.61	00:08.39	-b 2 -s 5.7GB-VM.vmdk -d /raid/VMs/	Same as last run, different block size
I	bigsync	I-bigsync	10:38.13	01:29.84	00:26.33	-s 5.7GB-VM.vmdk -d /raid/VMs/	bigsync on local machine. No file changes. This run was delayed a few days. 15 is the default block size.
j	NETWORK
k	cp	k-cp	02:31.22	00:00.16	00:11.07	5.7GB-VM.vmdk /export/srv/	cp over sshfs.
l	scp	l-scp	02:19.40	01:12.84	00:11.52	./5.7GB-VM.vmdk root@srv:/export/srv/	Initial push of “the file” - 5.7GB in size
m	rsync	m-rsync	05:59.08	00:23.71	00:00.98	-e ssh ./5.7GB-VM.vmdk root@srv:/export/srv/	Re-sync of unchanged file using rsync over ssh
n	bigsync	n-bigsync	04:20.71	01:31.92	00:11.76	-s 5.7GB-VM.vmdk -d /export/srv/	sshfs mount to remote system.
o	bigsync	o-bigsync	01:47.39	01:31.29	00:02.03	-s 5.7GB-VM.vmdk -d /export/srv/	sshfs mount to remote system.
