Hello everyone.

I need to copy about 500 GB (many types of files, some huge, many small files too) from an external hard drive, connected by usb 3.0, to a new internal hard drive. How many threads would you assign for this task? I have a Haswell i5 processor running Windows 10 pro, and I can leave the computer running just this task, so overall OS performance is not an issue. Any opinions?

Thanks!
