minus-squareHonytawk@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoHad to copy a couple of TB to a new drive the other day. Just selected all, and dragged them over. Then I just walked away, because even during those rare situations, it doesn’t matter how long it takes. Only took an hour though, and Windows was still working flawlessly in the meantime. Running on +8 year old hardware even. You sure you used Windows in the last 20 years?
