I have not tried this, but from what is known about SSDs, there should be no performance difference between multiples of the offset of a validly...
You are a funny guy. Here's my very first answer to the OP's question: "If you restore the whole disk, the offset will be preserved. If you...
You could try the following: 1) use diskpart to identify the exact size in MByte of your HDD's system partition 2) Create an active primary...
I am a long time TI user. I have spent hours trying to get it to preserve an aligned offset. Your workaround will not work for the OP. There are...
You, sir, are completely ignorant. The OP asked if TI preserves the Win7 offset. The answer is no. That's the answer I gave him. Then you...
Dude, stop talking about stuff you obviously do not understand. Seriously. 1) Stop talking about sectors per track. NOBODY here other than you...
Pardon me? Where do I (or anyone in this thread) say anything about sectors per track, or suggest that it would have anything to do with offset?...
You are correct, there a few partitioning tools that do this. I was more talking about imaging tools, as this was the topic of the OP. Which begs...
Just use diskpart, it comes with windows, and does not mess with partition aligment if you don't tell it to do so. The 2048 sector offset has...
Using an imaging tool that does not touch partition information has it advantages, too. Other imaging products are discussed here at Wilders in...
That's not correct, afaik only Acronis is still living in pre-vista times. Most other imaging tools don't touch the partition parameters. To...
TI destroys the correct stripe/track alignment with RAID when restoring partitions. The offset will be changed to an unaligned 63 sector offset....
If you restore the whole disk, the offset will be preserved. If you only restore the system partition, or the whole disk partition by partition,...
Just be aware that using TI will destroy your partition alignment. Vista uses as 2048 sector (1024KB) offset for the fist partition, which TI does...
True image is as bad as Ghost. Maybe a little worse because it does not even cover the basics...
Ah,ok. Just to be perfectly clear: Even under XP (or 2000, or ...), a striped RAID or SSD with the default 63 sector offset is unaligned, and...
Will try it out, thanks for the tip. Still can't believe that Acronis is failing at this basic level. Hello Acronis, please wake up, it's 2009,...
Hi MudCrab, first of all, thanks for your answer. However, this workaround is not quite practical for me as I have more than 200GB of files...
Hi, I own True image 10 and am considering upgrading to TI 2009. However, so far I have found no answer on my (one should think, quite simple)...
From what I read here, Acronis True image ("ATI") does not preserve any offset/alignment settings when restoring single partitions. If this is...
Ok, what seems to unravel here is that anybody who uses SSDs (or any RAID array for that matter, as the problem is the same...
