If it's not a partition on your "Windows" disk, check the Advanced Power Settings for your HDD under your current power plan. I think W10 DEFAULTs are 10-min or so for Shut Off... Some HDD manufacturers also have a shut down timer built into the firmware which has nothing to do with the W10 settings above. I've seen that in some HGST drives. If you run into this, you'll have to look for manufacturer tools that allow you to change it in the firmware.
I hope you meant SATA III 6gb/s... I don't think the working groups have gottent that high in their future spec development yet
Yes... And it IS an HGST drive! I may leave it alone as she is not using that drive much, if at all. I will ask her.
If you really wanna get into this, there's a THREAD here on the Forum, started about 2-yrs ago and still getting entries into last month... definitely worth a read.
Yeah that could well be the reason. In fact, not only external HDD, even my internal HDD does this all the time - it takes ~5 seconds for a sleeping drive to wake up and function normally.
I use Intelligent Sector Copy to clone an internal drive to an external drive (same manufacturer, same model, same partition table), but after successfully finishing the clone, the size of data on cloned (non-system) partitions does differ. For example: partition I: which is 256 GB: internal 210.37 GB vs external 205.22 GB partition J: which is 235 GB: internal 191.78 GB vs external 177.29 GB How can I find out what is "missing"? Is this expected behaviour? Also, I notice that the installed Windows version and the Windows PE version report different numbers for the same partitions...
XIII, that question will probably be better answered over on the Macrium Forums (lot of knowledge over there plus Dev/Support visits constantly).
That most likely due to the difference in the device Discovery process between WinPE and LIVE Windows... I see that all the time in WinPE Discovery. Reflect goes through many machinations just get the partition LETTERs back to normal, following Discovery, when it starts up and scans your System... partition #s will most likely be based on Discovery.
I was probably too vague; I meant that both versions report different numbers for storage used (in GB) for the same partition.
Is it possible to operate MR (media rescue/USB stick) with keyboard only ?. It was possible to create an image with the keyboard only but the recoveryoption was not accesible with keyboard or at least I did not found it. Any help is appeciated !.
So just announced. Macrium Reflect v7 will be released Feb 26th, 2017. Was announced on their twitter feed, but no link to what is new/changed yet.
"Fer shur," the CBT (Changed Block Tracking) feature will be there... and that isn't super easy to use unless they added access to finer scheduling other than DAILY in the Reflect UI. There will be other new additions as well...
wow well that was pretty darn fast. not sure if i will upgrade this time or not. depends on the cost this time.
I thought it was pretty slow Most vendors who move to an upgrade model try and update the product (with additional functionality, of course <Acronis as a very bad example here>) at least yearly (need that new revenue stream). v6 has been out since Feb2015...
well compared to the previous versions is was pretty quick imo. especially v4 that was out for much longer even v5 im pretty sure was out for much longer. at least i think it was.
I imagine the bigger driving factor would be the new features offered in v7... you may not have a use for them. v6 has been a very solid product and offers a broad feature set... covers most bases for most users. The only thing I know for sure that will be available in v7 on Day #1 will be the Changed Block Tracking (CBT) and I believe viBOOT will be integrated into the RESTORE function where you select an image, <click> on BOOT and directly load viBOOT with that image pre-populated. And with CBT in place, I've heard rumors of a "Continuous Backup" feature (every few minutes or so) available later in the v7 product cycle. That would be a very useful option for many snapshot-type users. Other than that, we'll have to wait and see how creative those Reflect Devs have become
PS- I still would like a HOURLY scheduling option in the Reflect UI. I asked for it in Feb2015, right after it came out... no takers to date. It's a "can do" in the current System... just requires lots of setup and configuration time if you use the UI to do it. Many have tweaked the Task Scheduler entry to do that... problem is it then disconnects itself from the Reflect UI (can't reconfigure it through the UI anymore).
