teracopy: copy your files faster

<< < (23/28) > >>

KenR:
Ok, so let's say I was copying from my laptop's internal drive from one partition to another or from a drive to an external drive connected via USB. At last virus scan, the file count was close to 2M. Most of these are very small files. Would either terracopy or McTool copy them faster than Windows Vista 64, directory opus, or xyplorer?

Thanks, Ken

Ken, I haven't tried any copy jobs quite that large!  But I have done some rather large jobs and Teracopy does do it faster than Directory Opus. I haven't clocked it but I remember this was the reason I tried the free version of Teracopy in the first pace. DOpus was copying well but not very fast, so I thought I would try Teracopy - It definitely was faster but I haven't actually timed it.

I have not copied anything using bare Explorer in a while - I am using DOpus for about a year and Total Commander for several years before that.

Haven't read the entire topic but I did a search and this app wasn't mentioned here:

I can't remember why I switched from teracopy to this app but I think it was just the comfort in also having the regular copy paste operations in case something went wrong.

I use Teracopy and I still have my copy and paste functions. Why do you say that?

Jim

Paul Keith:
Oh sorry. I'm just recalling from memories.

I think I felt that way because switching from the normal copy-paste functions to teracopy's copy-paste function felt more unnatural than total copy's instant separation of both functions through only changing the right click copy options.
