Set it to test your USB3 connected drive and allow it to run to completion. To get a handle on this, I would download the FREE ATTO disk benchmark. many require a previous release to run the faster USB3 speeds.
If the mainboard is Intel-based, it will require a separate Intel driver to run those ports properly, and I have found that some Win7 Systems won't even run USB3 properly with the latest release from Intel itself.
Win7 has no indigenous USB3 support, it requires outside (3rd party) drivers to support the USB3 speeds. It's important, as that USB3 connection you refer to may only be running at USB2 speeds. We also don't know the architecture (hardware) of that Win7 box. But it would still be good to determine the underlying issue if there is one.Īrno, 10% of a 1tB drive is a lot of storage. The good news is that subsequent clones will be much faster anyway thanks to Rapid Delta Clone, which means only the changes will be replicated from this point on. It’s not uncommon for imaging/cloning applications to be the first applications to surface this behavior since most people’s everyday usage of their PCs doesn’t have them reading/writing every sector on the disk that contains data, whereas image and clone operations do. If you’re not running third-party anti-virus that’s sometimes known to interfere with Reflect or using something slow like USB 2.0 (where that transfer rate would be just right if you were transferring 1TB of actual data), other possible culprits include a bad cable and an unhealthy source and/or destination disk that’s having to try multiple times to read/write data in certain locations on the disk.
Cloning is locked in the trial version.What are the source and destination drives (2.5” HDD, 3.5” HDD, SSD?) and how are they connected to the system? How much of that 1TB drive is filled? Any third-party anti-virus running? This creates problems for notebook owners on newer Windows systems, trying to clone their operating system. This makes them more compatible with Windows XP as storage drives. Newer drives claim they have lower bytes/sector, if viewed via USB. I tried it out and it came up with an error.įurther Googling found updates from Macrium on the topic. I've seen this recommended by people on OzBargain. This time around, Apricorn complains about different block sizes. I had to turn legacy boot on, in the system settings and change the order of boot systems to put optical drives higher. I posted on OzBargain that I had success using Apricorn the last time I cloned to SSD.
(2) Software suggested by Sandisk Apricorn Ezy Gig IV Note: 1 person said after using Minitool on the drive, Acronis could see itġ person said it works only with select methods of connecting the drive to the system, but the method wasn't specified. Googling shows other people got the same problem. This software, tells me it won't run without a Crucial drive connected to the system, even though I've tried with the Crucial drive in a USB enclosure, and a Sata to USB cable. (I only have about 300GB of stuff on the drive)Īs I've encountered problems with about 4 or 5 different cloning applications, I'm going to document what I found and problems as I go along, to help keep me organized and maybe it'll help others.Ĭrucial MX500 says to use Acronis True Image for Crucial I am now trying to clone to a new Crucial MX500 500GB SSD. Eventually I got a useful message during one restart which said there was an imminent problem with the hard drive. This was during those hot weeks where we got over 40C in Melbourne. It had a HDD in it and I replaced it with a Samsung SSD 850 Evo around 30 June 2016.Įverything ran beautifully till a few weeks ago. Microsoft were really helpful with Office that I purchased last year.Īll good and thank you everyone for your suggestions Some time spent finding my registrations etc. I found the HP restore drive that I made years ago.Ĭlean rebuild.
After several experiments with cloning, which failed (seems to be an issue for cloning notebooks to new ssds they give a lower bytes/sector number when you access them via USB, so they are better compatible with Windows XP for storage drives),
