BlacX speeds arent making sense, unless I'm missing something.
I have Acronis True Image 2016 and used it on my older PC with a BlacX ST0005U Esata backup dock, which they say has transfer speeds of 3 Gbps. Backing up my whole drive as a clone image used to take about 20 minutes. The old PC was a 64 bit Asus with Windows 7, and didn't have USB 3.
So that PC died ( actually, I did the free "upgrade" to Windows 10 and that killed it because it was too old to make compatible ) and I had to get a newer Asus - THIS time with Windows 8.1 ( I'm letting Windows 10 mature for maybe 5 more years! ), that does have USB 3 and decided to get a BlacX ST0005U-C, which is a USB 3 unit and is said to backup at 5Gbps - even faster. The marvels of new technology, huh?
The problem is that, for about the same amount of data, it's taking several HOURS to back it up, using the same clone technique with Acronis 2016.
Does anyone have any idea if I might have Acronis set wrong, or something, or are the specifications of the USB 3 unit wildly optimistic?
