Estimated time to completion on my Fujitsu Celsius W550 (i7, 16GB, 1TB 
M2 SSD + 32TB disc farm) is around three hours, installing from a 16GB 
USB stick onto which has been unpacked the complete TeX Collection ISO.
USB Device Tree Viewer V3.5.2 shews the USB stick as being connected to 
a USB 2.0 MTT Hub under an Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller.  
Installing is taking place to the M2 SSD.
