Optimal performance |
EWF copies all disk sectors into the overlay. |
Use less overlay space |
EWF determines whether the data being written is the same as the data stored on the disk, and copies only changed sectors into the overlay. |
Use less overlay space and less writes |
EWF determines whether the data being written is the same as the data stored on the disk, and then checks to see whether changes to sectors are already in the overlay. If so, it does not overwrite them. |
