    Speed Comparison on Windows 7

    Fast Copy 2.06 vs Tera Copy Pro 2.2 beta3 vs Win7 (64-bit) vs Directory Opus 9.5.5 (64-bit)

    Environment: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
    Copying to a different Hard Drive
    Small files count: 14065 (size of 12 Gigs in total)
    Medium files: Several files ranging from 350MB - 700MB per file (total size 8 Gigs)
    Large files: Several files ranging from 3Gigs to 8 Gigs per file (total size 31 Gigs)

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)
    5 min 45 sec - Small files (12 Gigs)
    2 min 7 sec - Medium files (8 Gigs)
    8 min 3 sec - Large files (31 Gigs)

    FastCopy 2.06
    4 min 20 sec - Small files (12 Gigs)
    2 min 3 sec - Medium files (8 Gigs)
    8 min 2 sec - Large files (31 Gigs)

    TeraCopy Pro 2.2 Beta 3
    7 min - Small files (12 Gigs)
    2 min 40 sec - Medium files (8 Gigs)
    10 min 29 sec - Large files (31 Gigs)

    Directory Opus 9.5.5 (64-bit)
    6 min 31 sec - Small files (12 Gigs)
    2 min 9 sec - Medium files (8 Gigs)
    8 min 22 sec - Large files (31 Gigs)

    Conclusion:
    TeraCopy: Can’t match Win7 copying speed. It's only usefulness now is its extra features. Pity, because it was very good on XP.
    Windows 7: Very good copying speeds, but suffers when copying lots of small files.
    FastCopy: Wins in every category!! Not as pretty as the others, but it gets the job done the fastest and has lots of extra features.
    Directory Opus: Can’t match Win7 copying.
