iPad Pro How many MB/sec (fast) does content transfer to a iPad Pro 2022 ?

Iirc, internal storage on the iPad Pro is at least 1000MB/sec (NVMe speed).
Alas, there’s more overhead when it comes to external transfers but 100-120MB/s should be easily doable.
Thanks.
The only issue I see is how tedious it is to transfer close to 2 TB to a iPad.
Seems that would be a one-time deal - just kick it off and come back later. And you won't have 2TB available to fill. Videos?Thanks.

It's most definitely going to be a time-consuming process. What format is the drive? I ask because there have been problems working with exFAT storage. You'd definitely want to be checking data integrity as you go along - iPadOS and external storage has not been problem-free (though reading from external storage has generally been good).
Then this settles it mostly. A external hard drive or ssd would be better that way it can have data organized automatically the way I want plus more than 2 TB!
That's the approach I've taken, using an external SSD that works with my M1 12.9, Mini 6, and laptop & desktop. I use a 1TB USB-C Samsung T7 - small & lightweight. I keep the read-only "big data" items on it, primarily video.
Cheaper too!
Do you have any idea if the 2 TB and maybe a 4 TB if there is one model works fine as well on a Mini 6 or iPad Pro ?
They should. I've also used 4TB spinning HDDs but they have the downside of requiring external power so I use them with a hub.
I wish there was something like this for video but in the opposite way.
