Speed of Acronis TI

Thread needs solution

My intern HDD in a laptop runs with 7200 /min about 100 MB/sec. The external HDD media by USB 3.0 with about 150 MB/sec.

The speed of Acronis TI to create a backup is at about 60 MB/sec in normal mode priority and compression.

So the speed of Acronis TI seems to be limited by compression.
Is that right ??

So if I take 2 SDDs with about 500 MB/sec as source and aim the speed of Acronis TI would be the same and not be much higher than 60 MB/sec ??

I like your question. I have wanting to try an SSD to SSD backup. I've not done it as the cost of large SSD's is prohibitive.

I'll bet you would see a dramatic increase in backup speed. I'd speculate maybe as high as 300 MB/sec.

Let us know if you try it. I'm very interested. Maybe somebody who has done it will be kind enough to report the results.

I have done an SSD to SSD backup, just for test purposes. It was from one machine to another over a Gigabit LAN. The speed was limited by the LAN to 120 MB/s. I did not try from one SSD to another in the same PC. That would be interesting.

*Edit:
To add to the above, when doing a backup over the LAN from a machine with an SSD to a machine with a rotating disk, I normally see 70 MB/s for older disks (7200 rpm 160 GB) and the full LAN speed of 120 MB/s for newer Advanced Format disks with higher recording densities in TB sizes (5900 rpm 3 TB NAS disks).

The speed of Acronis TI seems to be limited by compression (I think limited by CPU).

Kompression wird die Backupgeschwindigkeit limitieren (denke das die CPU limitiert).

A comment about speed of TI. The relationship noted between compression and CPU is sound. Speed will be highly dependent on the underlying platform from which the app is running. Certain architectures will perform better than others due to design factors in how the data bus is implemented on any particular CPU die.

Some interesting reading at the links below illustrate these factors.
