Enormous time difference between media

Thread needs solution

My C: drive holds about 160GB of data, when I make an image to my D: SSD drive it takes 12 minutes with a validation. When I choose to make an image to a 256GB USB 3.1 thumb drive it takes over five hours.

Peter, I would expect that there are really significant differences in the read/write speeds of the different drives being used as destinations for your backup here.

It also depends on the speed of the USB port - USB 2 is going to take a lot longer than USB 3 with fast media.

Thank you for your replies, the USB ports on my PC are 3.0 ports and the thumb drive is USB 3.1.

Also consider that USB thumb drives have quite a variance in performance. Take a look at this:
