Can I copy or synch from Drive A to Drive B/C and D. That's from one drive to three all at the same time ? If so can you please show me how and how I can implement the switch which will increase rapidly the time it takes to synch or copy. Thank you

I have tested FFS against Robocopy and FFS is undoubtedly faster.
Perhaps I am expecting too much from FFS.
Also I often avoid USB by using direct on board sata connections.
Perhaps via USB 3.2 is faster than on board copying ? Is that possible ?
Some mainboards have provision for 6 sata drives
I ...

Out of curiosity, why is my hardware a limitation ? Surely we all use hard disks when copying or synchronising. What should I/you/we being using if not hard disks ?

So after all that, no Performance Improvements with the donated edition when copying A to B ?
Thank you

So what are the best settings to apply for source on the left and destination on the right. Changes on the left are updated to destination on the right. That's all I need to know. What settings to apply for maximum performance. Thank you

Not a very helpful answer. Try and be a little more proactive, please. Lots of emails back and forth just to understand what settings are required to get the Performance Improvements that come with the donation edition, unless you're saying that from hard disk to hard disk, there aren't any ?

I only ever copy/synchronise from left to right with one HDD on the left one HDD as destination on the right. Does what I have sent you in the image take full advantage of the performance improvements that come with the donation edition ? Anything else to tweak for the sole purpose of speed ?

Just signed up. Thank you.
Where do I enable parallel file operation under Performance improvements. That is the feature I was after to speed up operation

Still waiting for an answer. I would like to know:
The minimum acceptable donation amount and
if it is a mandatory renewal, 12 monthly I assume ?

You did not answer my specific question. Is there a minimum acceptable donation amount ? Even 1 dollar or 1 pound is a donation but is that acceptable (probably not). Need to know the minimum threshold that constitutes a donation

I need to get hold of the portable version which also includes many more features. Requires a donation but what is an acceptable donation which would secure the special version ? And would it be a yearly payments ?
