Slow check image

Don't understand why there is a significant difference between the time it takes to create an image (16 min.) and verifying it (over 25 min.) referred to a 4GB compressed one. Shouldn't it be that creating an image would take longer than verifying? Need help please.

WinXP Pro SP2
InCD w/DVD+RW

Hello!

Also the latest TI 9.0 2302 has extremely utterly slow image checking (DVD-RW). 3 disks took over 2 hours! Nothing new though...

EDIT: Sorry, i lied. It took over 3 hours, normal compression. TI 9.0 is driving me crazy. Please help.

 

Hello Irina,
do you have any news for me? Thanks

 

Hello lricc335 and Technic,

Hello lricc335 and Technic,

I have received a response from our Development Team. They consider 25 minutes as a quite normal time for the 4 GB image verification process to take.

The point is that DVD burning speed is actually higher then DVD reading speed. This fact causes such a difference between image creation and image verification times.

Thank you.

Hello Alexey,

that's quite strange since everybody knows that DVD reading is faster than DVD burning. Couldn't it more probably be a bug in the decompressing or verifyng process?

 

I imaged my entire drive and it took 40-50min to make the image which turned out to be 43GB. Verifying my image took another 40min. This was over USB2.0.
