I was very surprised at my findings of “Fastest Transfer”… especially that of RichCopy. TeraCopy (excellent shell integration!).Most “easy to use” and “easy to understand” TeraCopy (60 MB) ***RAM usage fluctuated highly.The cpu usage for all the programs spiked regularly and at at double digit values above these averages. Windows Vista default copy (no third party software used) took 7 minutes and 51 seconds to transfer all the 3.97 GB. The following are my findings (by category):

I used Windows Vista default copy to use as a control group. To find out which is the “best” I ran a simple test I copied 3.97 GB of file files (videos, documents, installation files, etc.) with each program at default settings for all the programs. My intention was to give the general public a general idea of which program is the best… not be scientifically accurate. Now keep in mind my tests were not done in a manner which would be approved by the Scientific Journal so results will vary from person to person, computer to computer, and heck even file transfer to file transfer.

So instead of comparing all the programs feature by features, lets get down to the raw data. ***TeraCopy is free for home users only I believeĪll five of the above listed applications have their individual perks, such as the excellent shell integration by TeraCopy and CopyHandler or the advanced settings by FastCopy or RichCopy, but the main purpose of all five is to help you cut/copy and paste files faster than Windows normally would. Well to help ease the pain I am going to tell you about 5 free applications that can help make your cutting/copying/pasting faster and more enjoyable (allowing pause, skip, etc.). One problem with cut/copy/paste is that if you cut/copy large files or a large number of files, Windows can take f-o-r-e-v-e-r to paste them. Come on… who here has never used any of the three before (please raise your hand so I can slap some sense into you)? Heck, sometimes, without any purpose except for entertainment, I just randomly Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V just because I can. Cut, copy, and paste (any combination of the three) has got to be one of the most widely used commands in Windows… ever.
