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.

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.
