Thats because you're using low end desktop class disks. Go get some 15k rpm SAS disks and try again.

Also they'll be even worse because the largest capacities are SMR disks with horrible write performance.

I don't see the problem. You do a full backup once and then just use rsync.

I'm about to backup my 5TB drive as well.

Not sure if I should just do this at 4TB sessions per day.

Also maybe have a small fan blowing air at the drives?

are hard drives even going to get over ~10TB ever?

I thought they were already nearing the limits of platter density

I just want my 100TB SSD for 100 burgerbux, let's make that happen goys.

WD's new 12TB drive features a 7,200 RPM spindle and a beefy 256MB cache. That translates into sustained transfer rate of 255MB/s.
