whats an I/O device ? does this mean input / output

paul10 · 9 Jul 2011 at 15:30

ok i ticked only the top option not the recovery of bad sectors sorry my error but i will do this again

this checking for errors is taking its time almost as long as backing up ,is there a faster way to back up ie usb 3.0 external hard drive will/does this improve back up speeds or is it pending on the speed of the external drive for back ups
