Why does MR report the I/O Performance as Gb/s or Mb/s? Such data to me indicates gigabits per send which is not equal to gigabytes per second. To some this could be very confusing. Does the fact that this is a British company account for this? I'd think that data like this would be universal rather than cultural.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

Always been that way - argument is speeds compare against a fixed parameter - all network cards are quoted in mbps or Gbps.

It is kind of meaningless as most backup via drives rather than networks.

I think it all comes down to marketing - 1 Gbps just sounds better than 125 mBps.

Of course, there is the perennial GB of a drive versus GiB issue to further muddy things.

The v8.0 free version is exactly the same software as the paid for version. It's only the installed licence key that determines whether the premium features are enabled or not. If you have not yet tried any Premium features, then if you try to use one v8.0 Free will offer to turn into the 30 day v8.0 trial. At the end of the trial it reverts back to Reflect Free. Just don't let it update to v8.1 or you won't be able to go back to Free.

If you change the installed key to a purchased one then it becomes Reflect Home. In fact, I've done that on one of my machines, removing a licence from one of my old machines and installing it in another that already had Reflect Free. I've left it as v8.0.7783 for now, just in case I later decide to remove the key. Reflect v8.0 reverts to Reflect Free if you remove the key, Reflect v8.1 will uninstall when you remove its key.
