Most would say, “meh” but this will work on W7 and W8, but this free program is feature rich and can “do it” a lot faster than Windows native utility. It also will skip bad files (corrupted) and then show them to you at the end of the process so you can deal with those needing special attention (like replacing from a backed up copy). It also checks those coped by comparing the ‘before’ and ‘after’ CRC checksums. Even better: It can be incorporated into the right click Windows menu…which will save lots of time.
Features:
-
Copy files faster: TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives.
- Pause and resume file transfers: Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click.
- Error recovery: In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer.
- Interactive file list: TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files.
- Shell integration: TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual.

So, this should really help if you have to transfer large amounts of data, and do that often. Also, with its ‘pause’ ability, you can do other tasks which might require intensive disk usage, and return to that original ‘copy/move’.
As always, before installing ANYTHING on your computer:
1. Do your own research about the software.
2. Determine your need.
3. Create a restore point in case anything goes wrong during the installation.
4. If you haven’t done a backup within the past week, do one. It’s painless and saves quite a bit of regret.
5. Always choose "Custom" or "Advanced" installation if offered. That will allow you to view whether the software comes in a wrapper with toolbars, home page and search engine switchers or other software/Adware you might not want.
