Performance

• Note If you are using a Snowball Edge with the S3 data transfer mechanism, the data transfer rate using the file interface is typically between 25 MB/s and 40 MB/s. If you need to transfer data faster than this, use the Amazon S3 adapter. The S3 interface has a data transfer rate typically between 250 MB/s and 400 MB/s. For more information about using the Amazon S3 adapter, see Transferring files using the Amazon S3 adapter for data migration If you are using a Snowball Edge with the NFS data transfer mechanism, the data transfer rate using the file interface is typically between 250 MB/s and 400 MB/s. For more information about using the file interface, see Transferring Files to Snowball Edge devices using the File Interface.
