Support and Feedback / Slow Copy in Only One Situation
« on: June 19, 2020, 20:14:01 »
OK. This is very weird. A few months ago, I had some trouble with one of my external RAID5 arrays, so I reinitialized and rebuilt the array. Before I rebuilt it, I was able to copy to it using Multi Commander at normal speed (about 80MB/s), but afterwards, the copy is very slow (about 2.5MB/s). The really weird part is this slow copy ONLY happens when I copy from one drive. If I copy from any other drive to this array, the copy runs at normal speed.

Copy from the same source drive to the same destination drive using File Explorer:

If I copy in Multi Commander using that same source drive (D:) to a different destination drive, that copy runs at full speed. If I copy from that other drive to this destination (U:), it runs at full speed. ONLY when I copy from D: to U: in Multi Commander do I get this slow speed.

@Mathias, thanks for the quick reply. I had turned off the prompt because it added another step to all my copies and moves. So my choice is to add this prompt back and get it for every copy/move, or turn it off and queue everything. So I'd still like a smarter approach about queuing, as I laid out in my first post. Thanks!

I have several external RAID arrays that appear as separate drive letters in Windows. I agree that if I copy 2 files to the same drive letter, the second file should be queued. But if I copy the second file to a different drive letter, it should open a second copy window and copy both file simultaneously. Right now, copying a second file to a different drive letter queues behind the first. Of course, you could have this as an option, but I think this should be the default behavior. I could not find this option in the app.
