 In order to test fairly, I ran four distinct copy
actions with each program and with the default
Windows 7 copy function. First, I copied a file of

external hard drive, C. Then, I copied a 24 GB
folder (3300 files, with an average size of about 8
MB) from external A to my internal drive, B. And
lastly, copied that folder from my internal drive
to external C.
