How to increase copy speed to private space >100X for small files, from 0.7 MBps to 76 MBps* updated

The original post on top showed you how to increase copy speed of small files to the shareable ‘Private user’ space from 0.7 to 30 MBps. This post will show you how to increase that from 0.7 to ~76 MBps; even though the progress bar showed 97 MB/s, the final speed measured for the entire operation was about 76 MBps.

You can accomplish this by including the 7zip -mx0 switch option in the Teracopy menu when you edit the PasteMenu.ini file with notepad. The Teracopy paste menu to 7zip is only available after you have installed 7zip, then install Teracopy then copy a source folder and paste to a destination. Since we are more concern about copy speed to the apparently slow KDDFS file system of the ‘Private’ space, we use the -mx0 option to turn off the compression, the end user can vary the compression ratio to optimize their time and space requirements.
