Question: How much time does it take to make an
Advanced Scan on 100 Gb size HDD?
Answer: Scanning for partition 100 Gb size:
- Simple Scan - several seconds
- Advanced Scan - 40 min
Scanning for HDD 100 Gb size:
- Advanced Scan - 50 min
- Low Level Scan - 4-7 hours
The scanning process estimation time may depends on:
- Disk Condition - the more corrupted sectors the hard disk drive has, the slower the read access for particular area is;
- Disk Usage - the less free space your hard disk has the more time it takes to scan it through;
- Data Defragmentation - the less data is fragmented on the disk the faster scan process can collect all information about files and their condition.
For Low Level Device Scan, the following options may affect scanning process estimation time:
- Skip Detected partition area. With this option on,
the entire partition area can be skipped from further scanning
and scan proceeds in next sector where detected partition ends.
Otherwise, Active@ UNDELETE scans detected partition for lost or corrupted structures and takes more time to perform this task. - Scan every sector. With this option on the every sector will be checked for partition signatures and takes more time to perform scanning.
