Best Free File Copy Utility [1]
Introduction
Hard drives are becoming larger with each advance made in the hardware industry. With the increase in storage size available the amount of files the average user keeps on their computer has also greatly expanded. But when you want to backup those files safely to either another partition or an external hard drive you need a copy utility that will not run into problems. I used my own music collection at 21.7GB and used several free copy utility programs to see which of them was the fastest, most reliable and easy to use.

Other File Copiers
Besides the recommended file copy utilities, I'd also mention SuperCopier [19] and KillCopy [20] since both are stable and reliable. Both are faster than the built-in Windows copier.
They run from the system tray and are light on resources. KillCopy is quite a bit faster on transfers and has a plethora of options for the advanced user. It gets a hard time for its looks but it has many skins available on its webpage if you do decide to go that route. None that make it as attractive as UltraCopier, in my opinion, but it does help.
