Speeding up extracting of large movie files - eviltoast

Is there a way to speed up extraction of 40+gb 4k videos? This is by far the most time consuming part of the process and I was wondering if there was any hardware acceleration or even multi cpu way of speeding this up.

My cpu isn’t the newest, it’s an i7 5820k, overclocked just a bit, but I have a hard time believing that a newer cpu on its own will have more than marginal gains on this front, but I could be way off here.

edit: I just realized my processor came out in 2014. So I’m sure in 10 years we’ve made some inroads, I thought I bought this guy in 2018.

    It’s hard to say since it’s all RAIDed out but they’re not SSD’s, I just didn’t have the space on the drive. But looks like I’m in the market for a new cpu, motherboard and NVMe drive now. Thanks for your input!

      Are you unpacking them directly on your NAS?

      Because chances are, that if you use a Synology and map the drive or use the GUI, that the data keeps getting transferred between your PC and the NAS. This is a very slow process, especially if you connect by WiFi.
