I move files all the time and it almost always happens instantaneously. This is taking forever. This really sucks... I have so much still to do to finish up tonight.

That is all 🙁

EDIT: Just as I hit post it suddenly finished. I knew it would get the job done. Just needed a little public humiliation was all 🙂

But it was a move, not a copy 😛

Even worse I noticed that my brother simply unzipped the archives in the same folder. I could have and just did delete half the contents cause they were just zip files.

I be pirating nothing 😛 It happens to be about 25GB worth of images from a large image database that went down temporarily. We held onto the database and with the help of the owner went through the code and improved it. When he got done with the trouble in his life and wanted to take the reigns again, we helped upload the massive collection back in place and get it tagged, sorted, and established in the database. This was just a backup of the image collection that I was moving to an area where I store images for just backups.

Probably 90% of it is PG-13 stuff of different varieties. 5% is shock and awe. About 2% are really nice landscape images, some real, some CG. The remaining 3% is a mixture of "oh thats cool" and "wtf".
 
arr me matey, shiver me timbers.

just because. yeah that would take for effing ever to move...since my computer is so unreliable i wouldnt even attempt that.
 
Moving the files from what to what?

Drive to drive? Folder to folder? Drive to external drive?
If it's an external USB drive, it probably has the write cache disabled.

My main computer is a laptop 🙁 A 5400RPM drive can only do so much. But the HDD didn't seem to be doing that much though. My CPU was pegged out though.

Folder on C: Drive, to another folder on C: drive. Same drive in other words. Just moving to a different folder from the main C: directory.
 
Odd, that kind of move should occur almost instantaneously. I think it simply reassigns the files to different folders, but doesn't actually change their location on the disk.

But then, if you tried to do more than 100k items at once, that might have caused some issues with RAM, and Windows would have started using the pagefile.

I'm going to Wisconsin day after tomorrow so I've been shuffling stuff around all day trying to get it back in order and backed up (just in case in all, especially with laptops). So I've been moving things around all day. First time its taken 10 minutes to do a move though. And now the HDD is accessing quite alot even an hour after the big move.
