Oh, yes, I agree with that. I should have added a qualifier. I doubt anyone would use TFS if they are not using Visual Studio.

I was mainly using SSIS, which necessitated the use of Visual Studio anyway.
Trying to use Git with SSIS was very problematic (for me anyway, there were other issues involved [e.g. corporate politics] which didn't help) and I had to create a nasty work-around to get it to work.

I have never had a choice of version control system, they are always dictated by management.

As to writing code (C/C++ C# etc.) I prefer not to use Visual Studio at all.
Similarly for SQL code -- I develop that in SSMS, not Visual Studio, then I have to generate scripts via the SMO API in .net to get them right.

I totally and publicly renege all my previous cussing, blaming, excoriations, and bad-mouthing of AOMEI.

It isn't quite fair to judge a piece of software when my USB interface is delivering about fourteen or fifteen Megabytes Per Second.

And...

That figure itself is being very generous to the USB hardware. I highly suspect that the speed number is about ten or twelve. I used a stopwatch in my hand and watched Two Gigabytes of files go across a Microsoft Windows Explorer file copy. It was five individual files.

They (Microsoft) now have a little speedometer that shows you the instantaneous transfer rate as the files are being moved from one place to the other. The highest number that I ever saw, I think, was 32 Megabytes Per Second, and that was just occasionally.

At this moment, the hardware of my PC appears to be the problem.

Resolved: Yes, I really should put my own PC together with my own two hands.

That sounds about right for a USB 2.0 port maxing out.

From some random search:

Quote:
USB 2.0 clock speed is 480 megabits per second. That's 60 megabytes per second. Given the protocol overhead and the fact that USB 2.0 is half-duplex, the maximum data rate will be 30-40 megabytes per second. The 480 megabits per second limit applies to the USB controller and is shared between the ports attached to it.

So, on my (Win'10) machine, under "Device Manager", and clicking on "Universal Serial bus Controllers", I read...

Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 1.0 (Microsoft)

...I clearly lack understanding.

Brain assistance is always welcome.

I suppose it's entire possible to have a USB3 controller that has some USB2 ports connected to. Or a USB3 controller that is (incorrectly) configured to work in 2.0 mode. I have to think this would be a BIOS setting.

Someone with more knowledge on this topic that I do should be able to provide better informed answers. Ultimately it's not because a controller is reported as 3.0 that it means that's what it'll always use...

Is the thing you have plugged into this USB controller USB3 compatible?

I realize this is five days ago but I was looking for a senseful comment on "intelligent" and this is what I wandered into; yes, I read the other backup software post made adjacent to this about the same issue of slowness.

If I'm reading this correctly, XHCI driver installed, this computer is now ok and everything runs as expected?

Didn't slow mouse movement come before USB drive speedlessness?

Anyway, about your use of the word "clone" in reference to building your own computer, AOMEI as I recall once installed has an icon on the main menu for HELP. Within the document spawned by a click on it, you'll find two words which it might be to a user's advantage to consider as contrasting idioms "CLONE" and "IMAGE". For what it's worth a CLONE can be made to a target drive partition and is used in reference to a drive and it's partition(s). An IMAGE is technically just a backup of whatever the software can say is an origin made to some storage space available in the system, possibly to external USB, DVD, CD, etc. And that is a file with an extention.

So, your mouse really didn't drive you crazy before your drives came into general use? I'm amazed and astonished. Wink | ;)
