title: "cp" version of "rsync -avuth --delete --progress"?
body: <p>I searched the forums through, but I feel compelled to ask my question, even if it is slightly redundant.</p>
  
  <p>I use "rsync -avuth --delete --progress" on a regular basis to move files from an SSD raid to multiple drives. The "--delete" function is very important to me as throughout the day I might make changes to files that I've already copied, so I want the newest change on the raid to be reflected on the copies downstream. I run this command a few times an hour.</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking to speed up Rsync. I know everyone asks this. I'm using rsync 3 on OSX Sierra, but CP is <em>a lot</em> faster. Rsync tops out at ~190MB/s. A lot of drives I use are faster than 300MB/s.</p>
  
  <p>Can I get the same kind of file treatment from "CP -Ra" (or with something else) as "rsync -avuth --delete --progress"?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I want to copy files as fast as possible, while maintaining attributes, and only update existing files based on new timestamps.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I feel like I know this is not possible, but it is worth asking.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
