What’s the best way to move SMB data from Synology to TrueNAS? Dragging and dropping terabytes of data is painfully slow. Thinking something like Robocopy would be better. Thanks for the input.
Robocopy isn’t a bad idea. I’ve done it that way before. Make sure to use multi-threading or it will take for ever. If possible have a high speed 10Gb link. And preserve permissions.

I would network the two boxes directly together with static IP addresses and no switch or router in between. Then I would Rsync the data over. This way you don’t need a windows box in the middle. Less CPU overhead, fewer network hops. If you only have 1GBE networking on your Synology or your TrueNAS, it might be worth the time investment to install 2.5gbe or 5gbe USB network adapters.

Thanks @xMAXIMUSx and @Louie1961! Appreciate the replies.
We have 10GB on both sides so won’t be restricted to 1GB thankfully.
