I am in the process of cloning a 2TB hard drive.
I am using this command line:

# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=16384 status=progress

I  have been doing this for years.

What struck me as I could see that 1.7TB had been copied, is that a
speed of 89Mb/s seems very slow.

This machine does have slowish processor (Intel core i3 about 5 years
old) but can I improve on the speed in any way?
