As I was reading your comment another bonus popped into my head. rsync would be better for resuming an interrupted transfer as opposed to starting over.

Yes, it’s great when you need to stop and resume. For data migrations between Macs I typically use…

caffeinate sudo rsync -vaEP

The flags are:

v increases verbosity.
a applies archive settings to mirror the source files exactly, including symbolic links and permissions.
E copies extended attributes and resource forks (macOS only).
P progress provides a count down and transfer statistics during the copy.
