I have various 15GB files copied to the old portable USB HD. Microsoft spend billions on Windows 7 and still have not sorted some of the basic file copy issues. Better than Vista but still falls over in some situation. With a particular drive formatted at exFAT (for large USB flash) it would not copy 15GB file. It locked out the PC – it actually slowed a Core7 machine with 8GB RAM to such an extent that it looked locked out (this has been described) - pull out USB cable and all jumps back to life. The 5GB file with odd {} name would only copy at << 1Mb/s - whereas a larger 7GB file did copy. Changing the name {} did not make any difference. Anyway installed Teracopy 2.01 which I have used for years and was meant to be redundant in W7 and can copy all at 20MB/s and not locked out the USB drive. Definitely install Teracopy for Win7 - why did not Microsoft just purchase Teracopy technology - saved their budget and better performance.

use robocopy
ReplyDelete""" Nowadays, software developers company have stopped supporting XP now, so why not TeraCopy too? XP support has ended and slowly it will phase out... although many people still use it. If you are looking for best-file-copy-utility, then you can look on GS Richcopy 360 or other which supports the latest version of windows.
