Whats your SSD image creation time in GB/min - GB/sec
Whats your SSD image creation time in GB/min or GB/sec
Note: This thread is only intended to measure the "Performance" of how fast your SSD can create an image and nothing more, Any other questions should be posted in the Backup and Restore forum where they can be properly answered.
With the advent of SSD technology and blazing fast speeds images are now created in mere minutes.
To see the image creation time the relevant information should be available at the completion of a newly created Image or from the log files of a previous Image created. If not than you can still use information in the log files to calculate this.
For my particular calculation I opened the log file noting the difference between the start and finish time of a selected image. Also noted the amount of data on the drive (before compression) in GB that was backed up.
I mounted a previous image to determine this, also it may be listed in the log.
In my example below I have used the free Acronis True Image WD Edition. Any free software that lists a Completion time or start time and finish time + amount of data will suffice.
So 3:34:46 (Finish time) - 3:27:35 (Start time) = 7:11 min (overall creation time)
and uncompressed Image size of 65.6 GB
Finally we must calculate the image creation time of the image in GB/min by dividing Image size by overall creation time
65.6
----- = 9.23 GB/min
7.11
