I also have Bitcoin Core in my laptop. From what I understand if I copy blockchain data from my laptop to my pc I don't need reindexing. Am I right?
Thanks for your help DannyHamilton.

Yes, you should be able to simply copy it from another machine.

Yesterday night electricity went off again so I had to reindex it again

If you find yourself in a situation where you are needing to re-index frequently, you might want to consider shutting down Bitcoin Core, creating a backup of data files, and then starting it back up again on a regular basis. This way, the next time a re-index is triggered, you can just recover your backup instead.

Lots of RAM and solid-state drive instead of magnetic platters.

I have 4 Gb RAM and 120 Gb Samsung SSD but it's still too long to reindex. Is it only me or anybody else having same problem?

hi kevindurant.
if you want really speed up the blockchain reindex you need a raid0 setup with ssd.
i think this is the bottle neck...
this upgrade come before RAM and CPU...

Hi, my setup is raid0 SSD already. I think it's about my old-ass CPU (core 2 duo). Yesterday night electricity went off again so I had to reindex it again. Still 2 years 14 weeks left after 2 hours of reindexing. That's very disturbing.

I haven't re-indexed in many months, but I'm surprised to hear that it takes 3 days if you have SSD and 4GB RAM

When I try to reindex Bitcoin Core it takes at least 3 days. How can I reduce this time?
