The testing was actually quite simple – I synchronized a folder containing 2.5GB worth of files between my internal laptop hard drive (source) and an external 160GB Hitachi hard drive (destination or target). That said, testing was carried out on an Acer Aspire 5315 with an Intel T7500 2.2GHz processor (4MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB), 2GB DDR2 RAM, and a 500GB Hitachi Travelstar Hard drive. In other words, we didn’t exactly follow the scientific method. With local syncing, files are copied from folder to folder or from drive to drive in order to keep the content of a pair(s) of folders consistent.įor the purposes of this review, tests were carried out to give an idea of the competency of the software but please note that the testing carried out was not carried out under strict scientific conditions and should not be taken as an absolute indication of a piece of software’s worth.
