Problem

I am trying to duplicate a folder (around 1GB) in the same directory and the copy rate is quite slow (getting around 600kbps). I can download large files from the Internet faster than that (2/3 MBps). Any thoughts? Note: I am using Windows 7 Professional.

Fix for: Why is my file copying slowly?

Low Risk

This is normal, you are reading and writing to the same physical disk and it can be even worse if you have a lot of files in a single directory.
