System Copy in 5' 21"

Retrofan · 29 January 2011, 04:25

Hi:

I don't know what I did, but I find my Amiga extremely fast. I just want to know if it's normal to make a complete copy of DH0 (OS3.9 with internet files and so) in 5 minutes, 21 seconds. It has 112,4Mb.
It's a copy at 21Mb per minute. I don't remember waiting so few. Perhaps it's normal, I don't know.

Yes, I've got a B1260 overclocked at 80Mhz, and a Fast Ata MkII... but I don't have it even installed yet, because I was changing the HD from an Amiga to another without Fast Ata.

Unfortunately with a Blizzard I can't use Sysinfo, and Sysspeed now is hanging... Too much speed?

Really I never have seen it so fast. Sorry as the video has very low quality:

I would say that is pretty normal and not particularly speedy at all. After all, that's more like 600kb/sec which is acceptable but not blindingly fast! Maybe you're used to Windows and PC partitions in the hundreds of gigabyte size range which would take a while to backup!

In WinUAE I needed another copy of System. It has taken 13 minutes to do it. I know I can make WinUAE to run faster, but... so much difference?
Shoudn't it go faster in a PC than in the Amiga?
