Server Version#: 1.24.0.4930 Synology: 412+; INTEL Atom D2700; 2.13 GHz CPU; 1024 MB Physical Memory I began Sonic Analysis on Aug 22, 2021. It reported that there were 4261 Albums to analyze. As of this morning, the process is about 32.6% complete, with about 2860 albums remaining. I analyzed my Plex log files and have calculated a projected completion date of Oct 3, 2021. The process appears to be running at a steady rate.

Thanks for sharing, there’s a running thread on that: > [@Sonic Analysis - has processed 6 albums in 40 minutes](https://forums.plex.tv/t/sonic-analysis-has-processed-6-albums-in-40-minutes/735992): > > Server Version#:1.24.0.4930 Player Version#: This can’t be right. At this rate - it will take… EIGHTY THREE DAYS to complete sonic scanning? My Plex computer isn’t new - but it’s a 6 core processor with 16 GB of RAM. Fast enough that this shouldn’t take until Christmas. What do I do? This CAN’T BE RIGHT.[Plex Media Server Logs\_2021-08-12\_19-11-04.zip](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/sI8JtUVldTAE9sWTLlrXHWauyvp.zip) (7.3 MB) Maybe you can share there as well. ---

That’s exactly same specs I have and it is so frustratingly slow. ---

The process appears to be running at a steady rate. **UPDATE** — As of yesterday evening, the process is about 89.9% complete. The original projection of Oct 3 will likely get missed by a few days. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/5/e/5e2117290a32dd5077731df5df2364200deeaf22.png) ---
