DRX Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Hi guys, Does anyone have good recommendations for software that can be used to transfer data between drives while checksumming that data? Kind Regards DRX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moodkiller Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Yup, this will do the trick for you: https://www.codesector.com/teracopy Note the first green tick mark, that will run a CRC check on the files being copied and then on the copied files 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaftMink Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Unless your coping to a raid I'd suggest just adding the CRC32 to the filenames. RapidCRC - http://rapidcrc.sourceforge.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RapidCRC - http://rapidcrc.sourceforge.net/ That will be a painfully exercise though. TeraCopy will do that anyways all without actually adding the CRC to the filename. Also, best to use the Unicode version of RapidCRC here: https://www.ov2.eu/programs/rapidcrc-unicode. That one hasn't been updated since 2005. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RapidCRC - http://rapidcrc.sourceforge.net/ All my files already have CRC32 checksums, I only need a program that can verify there data while the data is being transferred to a different drive. That's why @Moodkiller suggestion works fine for my situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, if you copy the files, you can just select all of them on the destination drive and open them with that Unicode RapidCRC programme. Just an extra step with that one after the initial copy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJHulp Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) I don't know what to use but don't use TeraCopy, this will definally break you're system files. I thought I use this also because the faster the file copy, but after that all the files were broken / missing. Never again will this be installed just like Acronis it can back-up but no restore always black screen, I use AOMEI or Acruim Reflect for this no problems what so ever.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with TeraCopy, but I use it for both work (countless hours transferring client data) and of course I use it for personal stuff at home. Haven't had any issues with it other than it occasionally freezing. Both Acronis and AOMEI don't have CRC checks like the OP asked for, so these wont suite. By any chance do you mean Macrium Reflect?? If so, then no, that also doesn't have CRC checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there really people using it, I know you can download a file and check if it is the good file, but why bother? 3 hours ago, DRX said: Thank you for the info and sorry about your bad experience, but I'll still give MK suggestion a try You may use it but I only give this warning that this can definally happen to anybody. Offcourse I stay away from it and it will never be installed on my PC ever again. Oh, by the way I use always GoodSync: https://www.goodsync.com/features Apperently it also have Checkum MD5, didn't know that before.
