For me personally 5Free works good enough, on my system it takes a little over 4 minutes(SSD->7400rpm HDD) for a complete image, and that's faster than the System imager in Windows 7 doing incremental. I'm definitely not complaining:)
I tested the Macrium V6 to create a 10159 image. It took a little over than a minute to complete the image backup.

Not bad!! The best time I ever managed on Macrium ver 5 was with 1 minute 47 seconds for my Windows 8.1 install. Windows 10 usually takes about 2 minutes 25 seconds and Windows 7 about 3 minutes 17 seconds. Those times are based on creating an image from an SSD to a SATA III HDD.

Yeah, that 1min+ is also from SSD to HDD. I will try SSD to SSD and see. :)

Sorry I lied. That was from SSD to SSD. Woooops!
Never tried imaging from SSD to SSD, as I have Windows installs on all of them. Also, all my SSDs are older 128 GB models, which wouldn't hold all the images I have saved.

If you ask me, Macrium Reflect should be obligatory, first application installed after installing Windows 10.
Users often think it as just another backup application but in fact it is much more, giving more than any other free imaging solution....
