Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

I need to often do just simple clones of drives and I've noticed that SuperDuper is often up to 10x faster than CCC. Maybe the new version fixes this issue?

SuperDuper 2x faster - Wap Zap

SuperDuper is faster, but not 10x faster. More like 2x.

SuperDuper 2x faster - fracasse

personnally I like CCC it is true that lately with Leopard there has been some problems but it has been very helpful to me for quite a few years and it is free let's trust the developper for the future....

Must...resist...reality distortion field... Even 2x speed increase is significant...I'm off to try SD. Thanks for the info.

SuperDuper 10x faster - Chowman

This is absurd. The app doesn't move the data, it just instructs the processor to do so. And the processor takes as long as it takes, period.

SuperDuper 10x faster - CraigStanton

What if the app is doing other things, like deciding which files to copy, setting permissions one by one instead of all at once? What if it's doing a check-sum on each file after copying, then clearing memory and starting a fresh with the next one? There are plenty of things that these apps do besides start a copy. 10x speed difference is incredible, but that doesn't mean they have to be identical in timings.

SuperDuper 10x faster - JJJ @ versiontracker

Actually - SD often seemed even slower to me!
I guess we need some scientific data about that!
