The multiple file copy test 1 result was quite good but in both tests 2 and 3, it was distinctly average.

Probably the most popular tool TeraCopy was really in the middle of the pack overall in terms of outright speed.

In a quick test with it turned off, the result was comparable to Windows 7. This is explained to a large degree though by the Security Essentials antivirus part of Windows Defender scanning every file and slowing everything down, so you get better security out of the box but slower transfer speeds.

In an equal test it was a surprise and disappointment to see Windows 8 perform so poorly after all the improvements Microsoft are supposed to have made to it.

Red is the slowest and orange the 2nd slowest. Green is the fastest followed by yellow in 2nd. Do note that the operating systems are clean and at stock settings with nothing turned off to help improve the results, including Windows Defender. To add a baseline and for curiosity, Windows XP, 7 and 8 (both 64-bit) were also included to see how their default Windows transfer performs.

Here’s a table summary of all the results from each software in the 3 tests performed. After 20 minutes SchizoCopy and Bit Copier both progressed at less then 1% per minute which meant they would have taken over an hour an a half to finish a test others were completing in under 2 minutes.

A similar tool called QCopy, also completed the ISO copy fine, but after 20 minutes of copying the smaller files, we gave up because it reported there was still several hours to finish, even with the network copying which it was designed for. We tested 4 other file copy tools and they weren’t included for various reasons LD Move was in the top 4 or 5 in the ISO copy test but constantly crashed in tests 1 and 3. Network copy test 3: Wouldn’t copy over the network. It does however have a built in scheduler, drag and drop onto the window, a simple before and after script editor and a settings (or Robojob) saver for different copy profiles. It’s not for the novice because a lot of the buttons and tick boxes are the command line switches.

WinRoboCopy is simply a GUI interface for the built in Robocopy command line utility present in Windows Vista and above. The copy process can be paused and resumed, but other than that, WinMend File Copy is pretty much standard. WinMend would certainly win a prize for its nice looking interface and is certainly a more novice friendly tool because it has no options to speak of apart from a buffer slider and the ability to overwrite or skip matching files at the destination.

The program does have a number of useful features including a batch mode which you can run from the command line, logging, a right click context menu entry and several options on how to treat potentially corrupted or damaged files. Roadkil’s Unstoppable Copier has been around a while and is a popular tool for copying as much data as possible from corrupted or damaged discs and drives. Standard functions such as pause and skip are available as well as a copy queue and several options on what to do for file collisions or issues. The program will replace Explorer by default while it’s running in the system tray and one odd thing is it keeps expanding the copy dialog window to fit in long file names. The earlier 0.3.1 did work well enough to test though, so bear that in mind. We had a few problems with the latest version of UltraCopier 0.4 as it kept throwing up errors during transfers and then crashing.

A portable version is made available using the installer and users of Total Commander and Directory Opus have options to integrate TeraCopy into those file managers. It can also pause, skip and verify copied files using CRC32 in addition to dragging and dropping files onto the copy queue. TeraCopy is one of the most popular tools around because it can completely replace Windows Explorer as the default copy handler and also adds itself to the context menu. Buffer size and Transfer speed can also be controlled from the Configuration window. Most actions are accessed from the system tray including adding a new copy task and it has the standard pause / resume / skip buttons in addition to the copy list and several options to deal with errors or file collisions. SuperCopier is an open source transfer utility and is quite similar in looks and functionality to UltraCopier apart from this tool seems to be more stable.
