Is Testing after Copying necessary?
Hi,
I bought an external HDD and I just copied almost 1TB of data to it. After the copying, TeraCopy started to perform a "Test". Since this test is supposed to take around 2 days, I would like to know if this test is really necessary!? I would think not, because the files have been already verified during the copying process. That said, I really know nothing about this stuff and I simply take an "educated guess" on whats going on, ha ha.
Thanks.
Not found very frecuently but every now and then I find corrupted files when writing on some devices.
If managing critical data it is totally necessary.
If you blindly trust on your devices and think you're not going to find a weak sector on an HDD, then you can bypass verification.
It's up to everyone to decide how important the data is managing it is.
