Not to mention, doesn't cat operate on a character level and not a block
level?
it just do 4kB read. that's all

No, with a size that isn't a multiple of sector sizes your transferred

OK, I understand that 1000 isn't good, I just thought it wouldn't harm.
But if it is a transfer rate killer then I'd better think of typing ^C now.
The command is running for 6 hours now.
An idea how I can check the current amount of transfered byed alongside the
running dd command? Or wat

In general, what you're doing is correct for a block copy. There is
nothing (that I know of) which is faster; you're copying 500GB of data
(including the unused portion -- you *did* ask for a block copy),
and this takes a long time. Be patient.
On the flip side, your blocksize (bs) there is qui

Hi list,
I'm considering using a bootable USB stick with FreeBSD to perform a
backup of my notebooks'
500 GB hard disk to a physically identical (same make, same type, same
size) hard disk attached to USB.
What would be the fastest way to do that sector by sector copy? I'm
using dd right no
