Best way to copy

[Srek]

Don't connect the drives via the same USB hub. Don't use D&D.
A simple command from the commandline to do this looks like this:

xcopy f:\*.* g:\ /s /c /h >c:\copyresult.txt

This will copy every folder and file from drive F: to drive G: and it will log the process into a textfile so you can later check for errors. Ifg you use D&D Windows will cancel the complete copy on the smalles error, using xcopy in the mentioned way will contnue with copying even if an error occurs.

Thanks Srek for quick reply

I am trying your method to test copying from one folder of one drive to other drive, it is not not happening correct me if Iam wrong.

my command was xcopy e:\songs d:\songs /s /c /h >c:\copyresult.txt it gives an error message invalid number of parameters.

But my question was, is this method faster ? or is their any third party softwares are available to speed up copying.

Please verify that all devices are using USB 2.0 cables. If you have been using computers for a while and have tons of serial/parallel cables laying around, you probably also have USB 1.0 cables as well. Be sure you have not mistakenly paired the low spec cable with your newer drives.
