I’ve been using TeraCopy as my default copy handler for a few month to speed up the file copying/moving process. Sometimes, I wonder if TeraCopy is actually helps in speed up the file copying process or not. So, I decided to perform a simple test to compare the copying speed of built in copy handler in Windows, TeraCopy and FastCopy.

TeraCopy

Developer description: TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, providing the user a lot of features.

TeraCopy is a freeware and it can integrates to Windows as a default copy handler.

FastCopy

Before this, I use TeraCopy as the default copy handler. However, the latest TeraCopy seems to have problem on my machine when trying to transfer a lot of small files between different hard disk (103GB of mp3 files). After searching for the alternative of TeraCopy, I found FastCopy. FastCopy is a small tool that will help to accelerates the file copying process. While TeraCopy seems cannot handle small files, FastCopy works perfectly.
