So I've got a 10 TB drive in an external dock that I use for images. Just connected it to my newer PC, and many of the folders can't be accessed due to old permissions. I know the drill...you just have to go into the security settings and update the permissions...but the problem here is that I have HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of files that Windows has to set security information on.

Do I have any alternative other than just waiting for this to complete? At this rate, I'm pretty sure it's going to take over a week to finish.
