As it is it's taking 3 minutes to send each book to device, and I'm on the process to send 2.200 books to my kindle 32GB.
Ps. My drives are not overloaded, I have a pretty fast computer with my OS on a SSD and 6 7200 rpm Seagate HDs connected on SATA ports. I have absolutely no problems transferring files on my computer, both between HDs and to my external drives.
Ps2. I'm on Windows 7 64bit using Calibre 64bit 3.40.1
We're not saying your PC storage is slow.

We're saying the e-reader/Kindle onboard storage is slow (see attached benchmark results for my PW3 and PW4).

Also, transferring 2,200 2MB ebooks takes longer than transferring a single 4.4GB file.

Calibre doesn't divide my send to device jobs into multiple tasks. Are you converting ebooks as you send? If I were you, I'd just run a batch conversion job and do the send to device afterwards.
