I only image my OS hard drive, which is a Samsung 840 Pro 256Gb. I use an Hitachi Touro Mobile 1Tb USB 3 for the image backup. The motherboard in my computer is a Gigabyte Z77-HD3, which is a fairly late model one.
As my desktop PC is under my desk it is difficult to get to the rear USB 3 sockets, so I added a front mounted USB 3 outlet panel. Image backup time for the 214Gb on the OS hard drive is just over 4.5 minutes & it starts at just over a Gb per second then settles down to around 850Mb per second. If you multiply 4.5 minutes by 60 seconds = 270 seconds, so the 214Gb image averages just under 1Gb per second.
