I am trying to transfer data from a Western Digital USB2 Drive to a QNAP TS-212E. I am transfering the data between the portable HD and the NAS using rsync (see following command).

 rsync -v -r -h -size-only --progress /share/USBDisk1/ /share/Backup/

The drive has a size of 100GB and it's been copying for more than 24 hours and at the current speed it will take multiple days. Most of the files on the portable HD are photos and each of them transfer at 300-500kb/sec.

The CPU of the NAS is almost to 0%. Is there something I am doing wrong? How can I speed up the data transfer?

Thanks!

It looks like my little NAS CPU was dying. So I connected my external HD to my laptop, plugged in my laptop in the router and now I get a transfer rate of 3-4Mb/sec.
