First participation to this forum so, I hope it comes out ok.
The subject intrigued me, so I did a test on my workstation,
Processor: i7-7700 - 3.6GHz
File: Genesis - We Can't Dance.SACD.iso; 4.36GB
Task: ISO to 176KHz M-ch FLAC using Foobar,
CPU resources grab: 95%,
Test 1: HDD to SSD = 7:29 minutes,
Test 2: HDD to same HDD = 7:26 minutes !
I don't see any HDD/SSD data xfer related bottleneck here,
Chances are that the processor might be the cluprit for slow transcoding.
