The ZIP for the Acronis WD software downloaded quickly and extracted cleanly. I purchased a 2TB WD external USB drive the other day and figured I'd give the Acronis WD Edition software a try since I had the machine stable for a while. I have an especially cranky Dell XPS15 running Windows 7 Pro - I've had to re-image the drive several times, and I've grown tired of the lengthy process needed to do so using the 5 or so DVDs that I burned using the W7 Backup & Restore > System Image wizard. This thing's getting a one-way trip to the recycle bin once I hit submit on this review. Only for it to say the uninstall failed because "the subkey cannot be found". By the time I was waiting OVER an hour for it to move on from File Exclusions, I just gave up on it and decided to try EaseUS instead.Īnd the cherry on top: TWICE now when trying to uninstall this garbage, it has managed to CRASH MY F***ING FILE EXPLORER.
So I get up the next day and have to wait a similar close-to-an-hour's worth of time to advance to each following step. I had to go to sleep because it was verging on 3 in the morning, and I was waiting forever for the program just to advance to the next menu option after analyzing the source disk. THAT'S RIGHT! I NEVER EVEN GOT TO THE ACTUAL DISK-CLONING PROCESS! The disk-cloning tool is unimaginably slow. Installs a shit-ton of bloatware onto my system that runs like a dozen processes in the background. Idk how the other tools in the suite work, so I can only speak to my own experience with the disk-cloning feature, but I felt like I was in the twilight zone. I made an account on this website JUST so I could talk about how garbage this program is for disk-cloning.
