Windows limits modified memory to about 1gb before it starts to behave strangely. When you copy large files, performance drops once SSD usage hits 100% and Windows has consumed nearly all available RAM. You might be able to free up space by removing the flash drive during the transfer, allowing Windows to write the remaining data from RAM directly to the drive. Increasing this limit to 5gb isn't straightforward; it depends on system configuration and may require adjusting settings or using advanced tools.
