The lightning strike comment makes me wonder if some of the connectors on the motherboard that control the SATA and/or USB 3.0 pins might not be in the best shape.

But I suppose some boards may have a 2.0 controller wired to 3.0 ports for easier backward compatibility before “proper” drivers are installed.Īrno, you said “both cables are” (plural) USB 3.0 but then mentioned you’re cloning your C drive, which suggests an internal drive - so are you cloning from an internal drive to USB 3.0 or from one USB 3.0 drive to another? It probably won’t matter since USB 3.0 is full duplex (unlike 2.0, which is half duplex), which means there wouldn’t be a speed penalty for cloning from one 3.0 device to another the way there would be for 2.0, but clarity is always useful. ^ Interesting, I’ve found that if USB 3.0 drivers aren’t installed, then USB 3.0 ports don’t work at all rather than working at reduced speed - and on some newer motherboards, even the 2.0 ports (if any) don’t work either because they’re wired to the same USB 3.0 controller that requires drivers to function. If that turns out to be the case, a fully supported USB3 connection will definitely make a major difference in your current experience.

mentioned above if intel) supported driver that will run your USB3 subsystem at their rated speeds. If during the test, the READ speeds of that device never go much above 35mB/sec, that external port is only running at USB2 speeds regardless of the hardware involved, which means you'll need to find a (correct one. 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. 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?
