Despite functioning only as a stand alone tool, it earns its spot in the Hive Five by offering an enormous amount of granular control.
You can apply dozens of variables control your file copying, including filtering files by name and extension and selectively applying file attributes. RichCopy is the only copier in the Hive that has profiles, a must for this app given how many variables it allows you to change. You can create a profile for every copying task you can think of.
SuperCopier is a strong candidate for your flash drive. It's the only alternative copier here that makes itself the default drag-and-drop handler while the program is active. You can turn SuperCopier into a portable application by going into the Advanced menu and changing the Settings Location to ". SuperCopier, like RichCopy also allows you to specify if file attributes and security settings will be copied.
TeraCopy is one of the best known alternative file copiers, winning people over with an interface and functionality that one might call "just advanced enough". TeraCopy integrates with the Windows shell for drag-and-drop support and includes a solidly laid out right-click menu.
It doesn't overwhelm you with a plethora of settings or options, but it provides enough advanced functionality to speed up file copying, notify you when files don't copy correctly, and allow you to bulk approve overwriting, renaming, and skipping of duplicate files.
TeraCopy is also available in a portable version. CopyHandler is another candidate with a ton of customizable options. Windows Server Service Pack 2 xbased bit download Freeware.

Good test. Some just write the actual values to the destination and not the data of the source. Great Article. Not long ago I had to do some large file transfers. I tried several tools, but most gave inconsistent results. I finally settled on RichCopy 4. However, I did notice that for disk to disk local copies I had much better performance with only 1 thread and increasing the cache size, but not to the max.
I was wondering if you used standard program settings for the procedures or if you tried optimizing the settings to improve performance. Reliability is more imporntant to me. You copied many files very quickly and deleted the original files. But… if copied data is broken or loss, what the…. Copying nn same disk Fast Copy was faster than Windows 8 when copying 25GB mixed files 1 vs But copy 3,5GB photo file from one disk to another disk Fast Copy was slower than Windows8 vs Watch out with Extremecopy.
There were files missing on the second harddrive without any warning or message. And with Teracopy or Windows copy, you have data lost, lost without any error message if error, no control and error message when error and the user presume all is ok.
Same with lot of software mentionned here too. When you come back, you will have the job done. Imagine you trying to copy gigabytes of files and come back in 2 hours and see that message, would you be upset? After answering that second question, I sat there for over 60 minutes and then windows could not copy another file because of long…file…name….
Then, the whole process was stopped by windows. Talk about being mad…. Would you be mad, too? I was. So, I found the answer for us. You can walk away for 2 hours and you are sure when you come back, all files are deleted. No question will be waiting for you. The job will be done. Please seriously consider my recommendation before you, my friends over the net, waste 5 hours like me in the past.
Have a good day and please help others…Thank you very much in advance. But only the speed…. Copying a huge number of small files is always going to be MUCH slower than a small number of huge files, due to the overhead of creating directory entries.
TeraCopy dies when you select a large number of files from a folder to copy. Selected , files to copy and had to kill the process after 5 minutes of waiting for it do do something…. It takes a long time for it to process a large number of files. At first it looked like FastCopy was doing a great Job but after seconds it shows major drawbacks in performance, my bet is the verify option! TotalRead Never failed me. A nice feature is the ability to detect and create physical Hard Links as well as logical Junction Points.
Anyway, you have to study the help file carefully! Nerd recommandation : Greetz Duck. Excellent article. Helped me a lot make up my mind. Congratulations and keep on going! I visit daily your site ;. I wanto to ask if robocopy not winrobocopy is better or worse than fastcopy over network copy? Thank you in advance for your answer and for your review. Have a nice day, Matthew. Also a little disappointed to see my program of choice, Teracopy, not do better then it did. I have tried some of these.
I liked copy handler the best. I now use Q-Dir as it does a lot more than just copy and I find it is pretty fast. It is also easy to copy between the four screens. Great review! Happy New Year ! I have a question Raymond, is it worthwhile to use Teracopy in Windows 8 Pro 64 bit? Running a quick test under identical conditions to the article, Teracopy on Win 8 x64 completed test 1 in seconds, 32 seconds up on what Win 8 managed by itself.
It will improve things slightly but Win 8 is horribly slow compared to Win 7 and even XP. Even Fastcopy took seconds so it seems Win 8 simply struggles with certain file transfers whatever software you use. Unlikely, but worth asking. The only patch since is a minor one for Windows Defender. Just ran test 1 on Win 8 with Total Commander x64 8. A similar run in Win 7 produced a result 3s seconds quicker than the default copy of s. Well, that cinches it then, another Win8 disappointment.
I thought to myself wow look at Win 8 first time ever I seen a different file transfer by Microsoft. So what do you guys suggest I use to replace Win 8 file transfer? FastCopy or Teracopy? Which is more stable hehe…. Yeap, obviously disabling the Security Essentials part of Windows Defender will make a difference and in the test it was around 50 seconds faster which is quite a bit. This is why it was tested with default settings or else I would be here all day just tweaking Windows!
XP3, copying a 1. Way to many programs running in the background. Computer is old enough that it might even be via USB1. Teracopy 2. At first it works after few hours seems to stop working. I will try restart system later but right now to me it is buggy. Weird but still this to me means its slightly buggy. No pc restart was needed. Nice Article. A nice copy software. Thanks for the adtional info…!!!
Good article. Thank you for the write up Raymond as it makes for interesting reading, i discovered Teracopy awhile back and was initially happy with better transfer speeds. Thank you Ray.
