7 Super Tools For Faster Windows File Copy / Move Process
June 11, 2008 – 9:02 pmLooking for a faster way to copy or move your files between folders and partitions in Windows? If you think that the default Windows file copy tool is too slow for such a simple task, try one of these 7 cool alternatives to speed up your Windows file copy / move process. In my test, FastCopy is the fastest, followed by BurstCopy and TeraCopy.
Freewares
1- FastCopy
FastCopy claims to be the fastest copy/delete software on Windows.
2- TeraCopy
TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, providing the user a lot of features like transfer pause and resume, error recovery, shell integration, interactive file list and more.
3- CopyHandler
A small tool designed for copy/move files and folders between different storage medias. Claims to perform 6-7 times faster than the standard Windows operation.
4- SuperCopier
SuperCopier makes the Windows file copy dialog box a little bit snazzier. It adds more functions like pausing, skipping a file, copy lists, and file transfer speed throttling.
5- Total Copy
Copies file slightly faster than Windows (approximately 10% locally). Installs itself as an additional option to the Windows file copy function.
Payware with Free 30 Day Trial
6- BurstCopy
This utility that can speed up transfers on your hard-drive by up to 200%; so it claims. Simple yet intuitive interface.
7- CopyFaster
This software bypasses Windows 2000’s file cache to speed up its file transfer process. Works with Windows 2000 only.

Out of all these I have useed only teracopy, and I found it very annoying. So got rid of it.

@Pallab: Try FastCopy. It is a separate application that does not bother with Windows original file copy application.

its a very nice compilation, yet what we need is comparison between these tools.
all of them are awsome, we must say it, yet, as i have used fastcopy, teracopy and supercopier.
- i font like that fastcopy is not automatically integrated (maybe it is !).
- teracopy and supercopier, are both cool, they goes high up to 20MB/s transfer, yet teracopy reached 80MB/s, i know that depends on some files. so ingeneral i like teracopy.its simple and fast and it has a free version thats not at all different from the pro one.
ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. and thanks again for this post.
