Now I just have to contrive the circumstances where this is useful to me. :)
I recently did a complete disk backup/clone which only took 15 minutes instead of hours. Maxed the SSD which was being backed up at about 2.5GB/s.
Wouldn’t this be useful for clustering Macs over TB5? Wasn’t the maximum bandwidth over USB-cables 5Gbps? With a switch, you could cluster more than just 4 Mac Studios and have a couple terabytes for very large models to work with.
rsync...grsync...a solution for broken partial batch transfers since forever
Would be useful if I had to debug my internet link and I only had a laptop.
Remote Time Machine backups are snappier than ever before :)
I don't know about the Ethernet part but it bothers me that even wifi has become faster than the wired USB port on our phones.
All I want to do is copy over all the photos and videos from my phone to my computer but I have to baby sit the process and think whether I want to skip or retry a failed copy. And it is so slow. USB 2.0 slow. I guess everybody has given up on the idea of saving their photos and videos over USB?
