How fast does EphPod transfer songs?
The speed at which EphPod can transfer songs to your iPod depends on which HFS+ driver software you use, the speed of your hard drive, how much memory you have available and whether your computer is doing anything else during the transfer. Generally, I’ve heard of speeds up to 6.0Mb/s using a powered PCI firewire card. PCMCIA cards tend to be slower, usually sending at about 2.0 MB/s maximum. To see how fast your copying speed is, just look at the copying dialog. To increase the speed of your copies, use Internal Copy Routines and use the highest buffer size (4096 at the time of this writing). You can set these in the Advanced Configuration Options.
