How to speed up file transfer between two computers

This command is really useful when you are transferring a large amount of files. It not only helps you transfer files between different computers, but also helps you transfer files between hard drives on the same computer, between the computer and an external storage device.. This command is available on Windows operating system and you do not need to install any other software

#netvn #windows10 #speedupyourpc

I use this command in a script to distribute builds ( more than 1 gigs ) to several workstations as part of scheduled tasks overnight, since years now.
Developers should script all their repetitive tasks for more efficiency .
I also suggest using MD5 checksum to make sure file transfer didn't corrupt any file here and there after compressing the whole thing .

I tested with 80GB transfer between D:\ and E:\. Both are within a same computer, and RAID 0 NVMes. D:\ = RAID 0 of 500GB + 500 GB. E:\ = RAID 0 of 1TB + 1TB.
The D:\ is a drive on which I work, and the E:| is a backup after I work on D:
Results = same using the CMD and Windows10's drag/drop. The speed of the two tests were, don't be surprised, 2, 700MB/sec for both.
80GB = 80 giga-bytes (not giga-bit). File transfer speed = 2.7GBps = 2, 700 Mega-byte per second !

It is not a valid test. Data was cached on the second copy.

I expect your more videos ... You are very intelligent man thanks for sharing your knowledge with us

[ThanhTrungNguyen-zzvz]

I have just been following your videos recently and found it is highly usefull. Thanks for sharing knowledge with us..

Dont use /S it's better /E, couse with /S robust copy will copy subdirectories, but not if its empty, it wil skip it ...
There's more usefull options ...
Type "robocopy /?" (Without qutes to see more options for Robust File Copy ... ) very usefull command, but if you dont know how to use it, better stick with drag'n drop ....

The time in which i will write this command my files would have already been copied through drag and drop😂😂

Said twice before. I will say it again. The destination computer will fragment all the files. All the time saved is multiplied exponentially on wasted seeks on reading that data. Read, move, read, move, read, move, read is much slower than read, read, read, read. A un-fragmented file is taken as just one long read. If you are going to argue an SSD has no seek time. A fragmented file on SSD still requires processing through the device driver on every move. A mechanical drive requires moving between tracks, which is minimized by read ahead in the drive. Which occurs if you are read 1 sector or more. The drive will read the one sector request and cache more tracks ahead (all occurring asynchronously of the PC). A large cache on a fast Sata drive is a must.

Elizandro Rodrigues de Mello is correct, the files on the destination PC copied using the 1st method aren’t actually wiped from the drive, they are simply marked as deleted.
Although your suggested method of transfer could be faster if comparing USB 2 and Gigabyte LAN.

Are you sure that the read/write operation have been completed at the time of command prompt return, rather than just being backgrounded?

[tompatton]

Seems to work reasonably well when you want to copy an entire directory. Not very practical though if you only want to copy a half dozen files out of a directory containing many files.

Thank you so much for all the work you do

[chaitanyakrishna]

But please tell me how to transfer files from windows 10 pc android phone in this much of speed

What is M32 in Cmd...🤔
Can I use any Number instead of it....
Example.I want use M36, M64, M100 like this...🤔🤔🤔

[Ivan....Ivanov]

If you use multitheading copying files, will they be fragmented on destination disk?

[Skif]

It is not sense, due to a different protocols? so when drag-n-drop uses SMB, and command line - SCP

[TechUpbeats]

Brother any tip to speed my internet speed in Android.

Hi Can you please make video on copying files from windows to linux pc
