Are these transfer speeds reasonable?

I'm using Macrium Reflect to create images of three partitions on one drive and save them on another.
The drive being imaged is a 500gb 5400rpm 2.5" Seagate attached to a SATA-USB3.0 adapter, and the images are being saved on a 4TB ext Seagate connected via USB3.0.
Reflect is reporting ~570Mb/s (with no compression). Is this typical? Good?

I'm just trying to condense some of my backups and previous system installs on the larger drive, to allow the more portable drives to be freed up, and to eventually a scan for duplicate files.

I'm wondering how it can report transfer speeds that are faster than the physical disks are capable of.

I would presume the drive it is reading off won't exceed 100MB/s if I'm being generous and the drive it is writing to can't write faster than it receives the data.

What does it say in resource monitor?

570 Mb/sec is ~71 MB/sec, so it's probably right.

Cool- thanks. I figure it is the 2.5" drive slowing things down. I wish the external would make use of UASP... it may be, but the options within my mobo sw (USB 3.0 Boost ) have it available, but greyed out.

Ahhh!
