Local VMDK -> IMG

Hello all. First time post. I began using StarWind V2V Converter a few days and have found it to be useful.

I am running the lastest version of Unraid.

The conversion type that I have selected up till now was Local VMDK -> qcow2. The VMDK file in question is approx 26GB (Windows Server 2019). This image was originally created in ESXi v.6.5.0

Today I attempted to convert the very same VMDK -> img. As I create this post the conversion has been running for close to 6 hours and is at 34%. The VMDK file is located on my local desktop but I wish to save the converted file to a share on my Unraid server. A share named "iso"

A rough calculation tells me that the conversion should require another 12 hours +/- Is it normal that it take this long. Thank you for your time and guidance. It is greatly appreciated. Peter

Sorry for such a delay. Was it successful?
Please tell me more about the underlying storage you have and what the bandwidth is.
Also, how long does the file copy take?
If possible, try converting the file to IMG locally and copy it afterward.
