Is the problem in Windows the number of files or the size of the copy?
I regularly "move: 30+ GB files with no problem. I also "move" 10s of
files each in the 2GB range, too.
On..this is Win8. Sorry, silly me. :)

Also, when copying a large amount of data it is a good idea to break the copy
down into smaller amounts. What I mean by this is the number of files. This
was also true in earlier versions of Windows as well. I copy vast amounts of
data everyday so it's a little tip there :)

I keep telling people, don't use the right click - move. If it dies, you
in a world of hurt trying to figure what got moved. Only use the copy
and then delete after the copy is successful.

Well, points for style, it appears MS has tried to really improve this.
But, in copying over a large amount of files today, I realize this
thing can get VERY confused.. I get to the end of a 4Tb copy, and it
says "your target already has 868 of these files.." Oh.. Hmm.
Interesting. So, I let it show me where the target has these files.. I
see them. I try to open them (any of them) they do not open (period).
Since this was a fresh copy onto blank drives, I don't know how they
could "be there originally" anyway, but still interesting.
