Migration from my old Mac mini to new Mac mini M4 taking so long
I have begun the process of transferring files from at 2010 Mac mini to a new M4. I am using hey USB A to USB C connection and the Time Machine backup. After approximately 4 hours it seems to just be starting the process in that the progress bar is now showing. It seems to run through some kind of calculation process where it identifies all the files even though it said it was transferring some files which is very confusing. So the progress bar is saying the process is going to take 125 hours!! The old 2010 Mac Mini is a 300 GB hard drive but it is certainly not anywhere near full. Is this process time a guesstimate that is likely to change from hour to hour? I am concerned that after four days I get a message that the transfer has failed. Is this normal to take this amount of time? Should I continue with the transfer?
Thank you.
