Are we talking about Hard Drive internal memory buffer, or a system RAM used to cache copied content? I don't think, system RAM is used by FastCopy in default mode, it just caches to full extent of Hard Drive Buffer and writes from their to the same or another drive. It's much faster, especially if nulls aren't written when reserving the file space. It looks like caching to RAM is the user's choice, and it results in slower compatibility mode, i.e. copying like Windows Explorer does, with similar to WE speed. It allows however a smooth background coping with easy access to the same drive by other applications. I'd ask the author to explain settings choice in detail.

setting for buffer
There are many RAM installed on PC (8G).
I try to give more buffer over 128MB to shorten the time when I trnasfer whole partition to another. But the SW give me a error message "Can't alloc memory".
Does it means that the max value is 128MB even if I have free RAM? Or I have wrong setting?

I have 4GB mem and could use 768M buffer, couldn't use 1024M though with ver. 1.92
BTW nice software, I copied 500GB in 3 Hours! got 40MBps sustainable speed copying everything on to my new Raid-5 array

This is the exact issue I was going to ask about. Would the author be able to clarify for us what buffer is being used?
