System image
Am currently doing a system image (using the built in Windows 10 tool) for first time. My external HD is a 3 TB seagate connected via USB 3.0. The image I am taking is of my C: drive (Samsung Evo SSD, 300 gig out of 500 full) plus the secondary drive which only currently has about 15 gigs used out of 3 TB. So total is approx 315 gigs being imaged. It's almost finished but the image has taken about two and a half hours. Is this too long or kind of to be expected (especially as it's the first image from scratch)?
I seem to remember using the same tool on Windows 7 on my other machine. A 600 gig image would prob take about 4 to 5 hours but subsequent re images to the same external hard drive would be much quicker. So maybe it's normal but it does seem a tad slow.
What are the experiences/thoughts of others who have used this? I guess most use third party programs for images.
Cheers
