Copy Utilities Benchmarking

Recently, I became aware of two publications on this subject, with rather different conclusions. I've long been a user of some of the apps tested and lots of them are in TPFC's database.

Re: Partitioning external HDD pros & cons

In addition, the beginning is the fastest area of the disk, so you might want to create a small partition to the beginning of the disk for files that need to be ...
