TeraCopy?

Has anyone out there been able to find any real benchmarks for TeraCopy in Windows 7 x64? I realize there are several utilities similar to TeraCopy and I'm really curious about which, if any, actually increase performance when transferring files.
 
nah but the crc check is nice. if you have any failing parts to your endpoint you can find them. most consumer products are not like servers where everything to the drive is ecc.

its a buggy program too. but the fact that its free and works better than the microsoft products mostly. Microsoft products tend to freak out when you have too many (inodes?) or whatever microsoft calls them
 
See, this is what I'm talking about. No one really seems to know exactly what the hell the utility is doing, if anything. I've heard from some people that TeraCopy enables multithreading when transferring files, but I wasn't able to find any proof of that on the official TeraCopy website. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this claim? I figured that was something that was taking place by default in Windows 7.
 
I use TeraCopy simply for the fact that it can skip over errors when copying and gives you a log, instead of like Microsoft's main one where if it encounters an error, it aborts the batch.

As for performance, I used to see a slight edge when I was using XP. But Win7 copying is fairly on par.
 
Yeah, I haven't noticed any real difference in speed in Windows 7. My favorite thing about it is the ability to queue copies, so you can just copy/paste several things in a row without thrashing your hard drive.
