如果您一直使用Windows 8作为您的主 PC，您可能已经注意到复制文件时性能和用户界面的大幅升级。最后，微软(Microsoft)决定改进操作系统的一些核心功能，这使得使用Windows 8比使用 Windows 7 好得多……有时。
不幸的是，即使有了所有出色的新安全和核心功能更新，Windows 8仍然受到双桌面和开始屏幕界面(desktop and Start Screen interfaces)的阻碍。我个人切换回Windows 7，因为我发现开始屏幕和缺少(Start Screen and lack)开始按钮(Start button)令人沮丧。但是，回到Windows 7上，我不再拥有Windows 8更可靠的新复制功能。
除了更快的性能之外，Windows 8 还比以前的操作系统更好地处理文件冲突和其他错误。最好的部分是您实际上可以暂停和恢复复制操作，这非常有用。
然而，在微软(Microsoft)以正确的方式修复Windows 8 之前，我将坚持使用Windows 7，这意味着必须使用第三方应用程序来复制大量文件。在这篇文章中，我将列出一些目前可用于Windows的最佳文件复制实用程序。根据您的复印需求，某些程序比其他程序更好。我不能说有一个复制程序是“最好的”。
我不只是以随机顺序列出它们，这对任何人都没有帮助，而是将它们分为几类：最快（本地）、最快（网络）、处理损坏的数据和大多数功能。
最快的文件复制器（本地）
1. 快速复制 (1. FastCopy )
FastCopy已经过许多人的测试，结果表明它是目前用于Windows的最快的(Windows)复制程序(copying program)。如果您只需要原始速度，那么这个程序是最好的。
优点(Pros)：复制速度极快，shell 集成(shell integration)，x64功能，无需安装即可运行，强大的命令行支持(command line support)，用于安全删除的(secure deleting)NSA 文件(NSA file)擦除实用程序，很好地处理长路径，能够在使用列表按钮(listing button)执行之前查看哪些文件/文件夹会受到影响.
缺点(Cons)：界面非常简单，不是很直观，无法暂停传输，卸载不直观。

2. ExtremeCopy 标准(2. ExtremeCopy Standard)
ExtremeCopy Standard是免费的，并且在非常快速地进行本地数据传输方面做得非常好。无论出于何种原因，网络传输都非常糟糕，所以如果您必须通过LAN传输数据，请不要(LAN)费心(t bother)下载此程序。它比TeraCopy快并且非常接近FastCopy。
优点(Pros)：快速复制数据，直接集成到资源管理器(Explorer)中，因此您可以像正常的 x64 位版本一样复制和粘贴，能够暂停复制操作。
缺点(Cons)：标准版(standard version)没有用户界面(user interface)，除了选项，不利于网络传输，其他复制程序可以免费使用专业功能，必须安装程序才能运行。

3.KillCopy
(KillCopy)当您复制文件时，KillCopy的界面看起来很糟糕，但它可以非常快速地完成工作。它也有点旧，没有像TeraCopy、UltraCopier和其他流行的复制程序那样更新。
优点(Pros)：可以在崩溃时恢复复制、并行读/写、出现错误或文件冲突时的解决选项、一些提高性能的选项、复制时出色的网络性能(network performance)、复制前安全擦除数据的能力。
缺点(Cons)：界面糟糕，不经常更新，必须安装才能运行。

最快的文件复印机（网络）
1. RichCopy 4
该工具由 Microsoft 员工在内部创建，直到多年后才向公众发布。它有点旧，自 2009 年以来就没有更新过，但它对于网络传输来说是超快的。但是，本地复制非常慢，所以不要将它用于网络传输以外的任何东西。
优点(Pros)：网络复制(network copying)速度非常快，并行复制，暂停和恢复复制的能力，即使网络连接(network connection)丢失也能继续复制，干净的界面。
缺点(Cons)：很久没更新了，本地复制很慢。
下载 RichCopy 4(Download RichCopy 4)(Download RichCopy 4)
2. KillCopy——在执行网络传输时，KillCopy比RichCopy慢一点。(RichCopy)不幸的是，由于它的外观很糟糕且缺乏更新，即使速度非常快，它也不是那么受欢迎。
3. FastCopy – 如果您正在寻找一个可以定期使用的复印程序，这是您最好的选择。它不是网络传输最快的，但它非常接近，并且由于它是本地传输最快的，它可能是整体上最好的复制实用程序(copying utility overall)。
4. 超复印机(4. Ultracopier)
UltraCopier速度很快，但速度不是它的主要卖点(selling point)。它有一个漂亮的界面，并有很多有用的功能。开发(Development)速度放缓，但仍每 6 个月左右更新一次。
优点(Pros)：也适用于Linux和Mac(Linux and Mac)，支持第三方插件扩展功能，开始/停止复制，限制速度(limit speed)，通过复制列表(copy list)搜索，简单干净的界面。
缺点(Cons)：速度高于平均水平，但没什么特别的。

复制损坏的数据
1. 不可阻挡的复印机(1. Unstoppable Copier)
这几乎是唯一可以用来复制大量文件和损坏文件的程序。在复印速度方面，与其他所有程序相比，它非常慢，但那是因为它是所有复印机中最可靠的。如果您有任何您认为可能损坏的数据，例如存储在有坏扇区的硬盘驱动器或有划痕的CD 或 DVD(CD or DVD)上的数据，那么您应该使用 Unstoppable Copier。
优点(Pros)：可以在复制时从损坏的文件中恢复数据，批处理模式(batch mode)，数据恢复的各种设置
缺点(Cons)：复制速度非常慢

文件复印机——大多数功能
1.TeraCopy
如果您正在寻找功能更全、外观更精美的复印机，那么TeraCopy是最佳选择。如果它的复制速度与FastCopy相当，它实际上将是最好的一个，但是，它只是平均水平。它构成了所有功能和漂亮的界面。
优点(Pros)：非常好的界面，与Windows完全集成，适用于Windows 8 x64，停止和启动(stop and start)，从错误中恢复的能力，失败的文件列表，非常积极的更新。
缺点(Cons)：复印速度只是平均水平。
下载 TeraCopy(Download TeraCopy)(Download TeraCopy)
备择方案
除了上述文件复制器之外，还有一些其他程序可以帮助您以不同的方式复制文件。这是我最喜欢的两个。
1. XX复制(1. XXCOPY)
XXCOPY 是一个没有GUI 界面的(GUI interface)命令行复印程序(command line copier program)。但是，如果您知道如何使用命令行(command line)，它有超过 230 个命令行(command line)开关，您可以使用它来创建非常具体的复制操作，这是任何其他程序都无法做到的。只想复制早于特定日期、大于特定大小且文件名中包含特定单词的文件(file name)？XXCOPY 可以做到这一点。
优点(Pros)：巨大的命令行(command line)选项，适用于所有版本的Windows，访问远程网络存储(access remote network storage)
缺点(Cons)：只能不停复制，不能从错误中恢复，不能暂停和恢复
下载 XXCOPY(Download XXCOPY)(Download XXCOPY)
2.超越比较(2. Beyond Compare)
复制文件的另一种聪明方法是比较两个文件夹，看看有什么不同。这就是Beyond Compare的工作原理。即使它在中间崩溃或出现某种错误，您也可以再次运行它，因为它正在比较所有内容，它会复制任何剩余的项目。不过，这是唯一没有免费版本的程序，因此您必须为此支付 30 美元。但是，有很多程序员和IT 专业(IT Pros)人士压倒性地支持这个程序。
下载超越比较(Download Beyond Compare)(Download Beyond Compare)
那里还有很多其他文件复制(file copier)程序，但实际上没有必要提及所有这些程序，因为您最好使用上面列表中的一个。如果您使用上面未提及的文件复印机(file copier)，或者更喜欢其中一种，请在评论中告诉我们。享受！
Best Tools for Copying a Large Number of Files in Windows
If you’ve been using Windows 8 as your main PC, you have probаbly noticed the vastly upgraded performance and user interface when cоpying files. Finally, Microsoft decided to revamp some of the core functions of the OS, which mаkes using Windows 8 so much better than Windows 7…sometimes.
Unfortunately, even with all the great new security and updates to core features, Windows 8 has been hampered by the dual desktop and Start Screen interfaces. I personally switched back to Windows 7 because I find the Start Screen and lack of the Start button frustrating. However, back on Windows 7, I no longer have the new more-reliable copying functions of Windows 8.
In addition to faster performance, Windows 8 also handles file conflicts and other errors way better than previous operating systems. The best part is that you can actually pause and resume copy operations, which is really useful.
However, until Microsoft fixes Windows 8 the right way, I’m going to stick with Windows 7 and that means having to use third-party apps for copying large number of files. In this post, I’m going to list some of the best file copying utilities currently out there that you can use for Windows. Depending on your copying needs, some programs are better than others. I can’t say there is one copying program that’s the “best”.
Instead of just listing them out in random order, which doesn’t really help anybody, I’m going to break them down into categories: fastest (local), fastest (network), handling corrupted data, and most features.
Fastest File Copiers (Local)
1. FastCopy
FastCopy has been tested by many people and the results show that it is far the fastest copying program out there for Windows. If you just need raw speed, then this program is the best.
Pros: copies extremely fast, shell integration, x64 capabilities, runs without installation, strong command line support, NSA file wiping utility for secure deleting, handles long path well, ability to see what files/folders will be affected before executing using the listing button.
Cons: Interface is very bare bones and not very intuitive, unable to pause a transfer, uninstalling is not intuitive.
Download FastCopy
2. ExtremeCopy Standard
ExtremeCopy Standard is a free and does a very good job of doing local data transfers really fast. For whatever reason, it’s pretty terrible for network transfers, so don’t bother downloading this program if you have to transfer data across your LAN. It’s faster than TeraCopy and very close to FastCopy.
Pros: copies data fast, integrates directly into Explorer so you can copy and paste like normal, x64-bit version, ability to pause copy operations.
Cons: standard version has no user interface, except for options, bad for network transfers, pro features are available for free in other copying programs, must install program to run.
Download ExtremeCopy Standard
3. KillCopy
KillCopy has a horrific looking interface when you copy files, but it gets the job done very fast. It’s also kind of old and isn’t updated like TeraCopy, UltraCopier and other popular copy programs.
Pros: can resume copy on crash, parallel read/write, resolution options in case of errors or file conflicts, some boost options for faster performance, great network performance when copying, ability to securely wipe data before copying.
Cons: terrible looking interface, doesn’t get updated very often, must be installed in order to run.
Download KillCopy
Fastest File Copiers (Network)
1. RichCopy 4
This tool was created internally by a Microsoft employee and wasn’t released to the public until years later. It’s a bit old and hasn’t been updated since 2009, but it’s ultra fast for network transfers. However, it’s very slow for local copying, so don’t use this for anything other than network transfers.
Pros: Very fast for network copying, parallel copying, ability to pause and resume copying, ability to continue copying even if network connection lost, clean interface.
Cons: hasn’t been updated in a long time, very slow for local copying.
Download RichCopy 4
2. KillCopy – KillCopy is just a tad slower than RichCopy when performing network transfers. Unfortunately, because of it’s horrible looks and lack of updates, it’s not that popular even though it’s very fast.
3. FastCopy – This is your best bet if you’re looking for one copying program to use on a regular basis. It’s not the fastest for network transfers, but it’s very close and since it’s the fastest for local transfers, it’s probably the best copying utility overall.
4. Ultracopier
UltraCopier is fast, but speed is not it’s main selling point. It’s got a nice interface and has a lot of useful features. Development has slowed down, but it still gets updates every 6 months or so.
Pros: works on Linux and Mac too, supports third-party plugins to extend functionality, start/stop copy, limit speed, search through copy list, simple and clean interface.
Cons: speed is above average, but nothing special.
Download Ultracopier
Copying Corrupted Data
1. Unstoppable Copier
This is pretty much the only program that you can use to copy not only a large number of files, but also corrupt files. In terms of copying speed, it’s very slow compared to all the other programs, but that’s because it is the most reliable of all copiers. If you have any data that you believe could be corrupt like data stored on a hard drive with bad sectors or on a scratched CD or DVD, then you should use Unstoppable Copier.
Pros: can recover data from corrupt files while copying, batch mode, various settings for data recovery
Cons: very slow in terms of copying speed
Download Unstoppable Copier
File Copiers – Most Features
1. TeraCopy
If you’re looking for a more full-featured and fancier-looking copier, then TeraCopy is the best choice. It would actually be the best one overall if it’s copying speeds were on par with FastCopy, however, it’s only about average. Where it makes up is all the features and the nice interface.
Pros: very nice interface, integrates fully with Windows, works with Windows 8 x64, stop and start, ability to recover from errors, failed file list, very actively updated.
Cons: copying speed is only average.
Download TeraCopy
Alternatives
Beyond just the above-mentioned file copiers, there are some other programs that can help you copy files in different ways. Here are two of my favorites.
1. XXCOPY
XXCOPY is a command line copier program with no GUI interface. However, if you know how to use the command line, it has over 230 command line switches you can use to create very specific copy operations that you can’t do with any other program. Want to copy only the files older than a certain date, larger than a certain size and with a certain word in the file name? XXCOPY can do that.
Pros: huge command line options, works with all versions of Windows, access remote network storage
Cons: only non-stop copying, can’t recover from errors, can’t pause and resume
Download XXCOPY
2. Beyond Compare
Another smart way to copy files is to just compare two folders and see what’s different. That’s how Beyond Compare works. Even if it crashes in the middle or there is some sort of error, you can always just run it again and since it’s comparing everything, it’ll copy over any remaining items. This is the only program that doesn’t have a free version, though, so you’d have to cough up $30 for it. However, there are lots of programmers and IT Pros that overwhelmingly vouch for this program.
Download Beyond Compare
There are a bunch of other file copier programs out there, but there’s really no point in mentioning all of them because you’ll be better off using one from the list above. If you use a file copier not mentioned above or prefer one over another, let us know in the comments. Enjoy!
