Hello ,
I am using Robocopy to periodically copy data media data (mp4 video files) from Local drive to network drive.
When Robocopy is executing copy command, local disk access is very slow and becoming almost unusable to open it.
Tried with different thread options 8,16,32 etc. but disk performance issue is not solved.
Any reason why robocopy is hampering local disk performance so badly.?
Thanks
Sampath

Hi Sampath,

Robocopy questions it is more effective to ask at Q&A forum https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/quest...
It is oriented to admins and corporate users, they have much more experience with robocopy tool. This forum is oriented to home users, they use robocopy very rarely, so local experts may have no corresponding knowledge, sorry.
