Creating image is very slow

[Guest]

I am trying to use R-Drive Image to create an image of a 250 GB Samsung 840 SSD. The estimated duration was 11 minutes 55 seconds. However, 30 minutes in, the estimated time left is 2 hours 6 minutes. The drive seems to be reading at around 25 MB/s according to task manager. I've benchmarked this SSD at over 350 MB/s read speed, so this seems too slow. I set "Image compression level" to the fastest possible.

Is this image creation speed normal for an SSD?

How is the target drive connected to your system? USB3?

Same issues here so will chip in (WIN11 PRO), this program is lovely in so many ways and I really mean that but speeds or estimations for backups are totally off, restorations are quick though.

I have a few EVO 990 PRO SSD's attached to my laptop both internal/external USB3 plus thunderbolt,
these SSD's writes at 6900 MB/s and reads 7450 MB/s so not exactly slow, but issues persists with other SSD's as well.

It must be a glitch somewhere within the program, program estimation for my entire OS is about 2min and 15 sec,
but ends up at 30-40 minutes every time where it stalls at 75% taking forever to complete.

Other programs like Macrium,Terabyte,Hasleo etc finishes same partitions around 1min and 20 sec and it really puzzles me.

Can this please be improved in some way or make it top priority for DEV's to look at?,
for now I only made one golden image with the program but for everyday or weekly use it's kinda hopeless when taking so long.
