I have two fast HDD with 12 TB & 8 TB. I observed that the content compare starts with a good performance of 160 MB/s and after a few seconds is falls most times down to 90-100 MB/s. I do not know why, because this is only linear file with around 20 GB (not fragmented). I did some tests with another compare tool and with this I can see 200 MB per HDD read speed in the task manager.I did also tests with a lot of directories and smaller files. I observed the same behaviour, which leads to nearly the double time for FFS. All the tests were done with large files and different order to avoid the usage of the system cache.

Can somebody help me because FFS is more user friedly :-)
