Not affiliated with hdtune on any way.Disk imaging and disk cloning both still have a place in today’s workflow. If you look at their home page you will see the chart that shows this. I use hdtune.exe in my work to find it before it happens to die. Eventually if you are lucky it will finish. I"ll leave it up to the reader to speculate why this type of failure is not logged. I'm convinced no manufacturer cares to detect it. This is a huge, massive problem out there no one seems to know how to find. And my hobby is a game dev with thousands of users who complain of poor performance. I've replaced a bunch of them for this problem and no longer allow hdds at work except bulk backup. They retry hundred or thousands of times like a skipping record. Hdds slow down dramatically as they age just before they fail. Since you're filling 2TB (although I'm not entirely sure how exactly MR8's cloning function works) the absolute minimum I would have expected the operation to last is 8 hours. Plus you're cloning, not copying so I would suppose it doesn't just replicate those 580GB of data but a bunch of empty space as well? As a best-case scenario you'd probably expect about 70MB/s of continuous mixed reads from the HDD, that would be about 250GB per hour, assuming there is no bottleneck on the receiving end. It sure is slow but not otherworldly slow. The M.2 SSD is inside the computer, this is a dell optiplex 7460 All-in-One. The external HDD is in a sabrent enclosure and connected to a USB 3.1 port.
I'm wondering if this is normal or should I try something else. It's been 13hrs since I started the process, and the progress is just 61%. I'm trying to clone it into a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB M.2 NVMe internal SSD using Macrium Reflect 8 free version. I have an external 4TB 3.5'' WD Purple HDD with windows 10 and about 580GB of data stored in it. This is my first time using a cloning software but I had to do it because my system has been running really slow.
