This verification is done via source and target file hash comparison.

It will also verify the files after the copy process has been completed, ensuring they are identical. You can then continue copying with a single click. TeraCopy will also let you pause and resume file transfers - being able to pause the copy process can help free up your system's resources when needed. Asynchronous copy allows for the speeding up of file transfers between two physical hard drives. It has many useful features, like copying files faster by dynamically adjusting buffers to reduce seek times. You can have both TeraCopy and FastCopy installed and use either/or - both have to be integrated into windows via their options, once you have done so to use TeraCopy simply use Copy/Paste or CTRL+C/CTRL+V - to use FastCopy use Copy/CTRL+C and to paste Right-Click and choose PASTE (FASTCOPY) then press enter which clicks the 'execute' button that appears, or click on it with mouse.TeraCopy is a compact program designed for quickly copying and moving files. this alone can add 3-5 seconds onto the copying time, whereas TeraCopy you can simply use CTRL+C and CTRL+V with no interaction from you at all, it replaces windows copier.įastCopy has some advanced buffer settings that allows you to adjust buffer sizes which may improve (or worsen) copy times, I think if you copy a LOT of files a LOT of the time then FastCopy is for you - but if most of your copying (like me) is out to an external drive then TeraCopy would be better. when 'pasting' you have to right-click and choose Paste (fastcopy) from the menu and then when its copy window appears you have to click the "execute" button. drive.įastCopy may be the quickest but TeraCopy integrates into windows better and has a nicer interface with progress bars, it also has the option to Pause during copying, FastCopy can be integrated into windows too but.

drive, windows is a bit slower, especially when copying out to ext. TeraCopy = 19 seconds in - 22 seconds outĪs you can see FastCopy is the quickest, but not by much as Teracopy is very close behind and almost as quick when copying out to ext. Windows = 100 seconds in - 142 seconds outįastCopy = 16 seconds in - 20 seconds out TeraCopy = 98 seconds in - 102 seconds out

TeraCopy = 83 seconds in - 86 seconds outįastCopy = 86 seconds in - 98 seconds out TeraCopy = 36 seconds in - 36 seconds outįastCopy = 76 seconds in - 85 seconds out Here are my findings ("in" refers to external-to-internal drive and "out" refers to the opposite)įastCopy = 32 seconds in - 36 seconds out

these tests were done with no Anti-Virus running or other background processes. After doing some research to find out if TeraCopy was faster than Windows 7 I found out there are other file copiers that are fast, I decided to pit the two considered the best/fastest together with windows.
