Copy Files Faster On Windows

Windows native file management is not fast especially when you copying thousands of small to medium size files. And when it have broken files, the copy process will stop and cannot continue. And the other thing when you copying files, you cannot pause it if you need your computer resources to do other processes.

The alternative to move and copy files on Windows is TeraCopy. TeraCopy from Code Sector is a free file-copying utility that offers more speed and security than Windows. It’s a compact tool that can quickly copy or move single files or batches of files to any directory you select, but it does much more, such as automatically calculating CRC checksum values to speed up the validation process. It also skips bad files during the copying process, displaying them at the end of transfers so you can see just which ones need replacing or other attention.
