You're asking about why file transfers sometimes take longer when moving between folders on the same drive versus when switching to a different location. It sounds like you're noticing differences in performance based on the destination path. This can happen due to factors like disk access speed, system load, or how the operating system handles paths. Let me know if you'd like more details!

Are you duplicating or relocating files? This process doesn’t involve shifting data, making it an immediate Copy on Write in file systems that handle this way.

Sure thing! The solution was just copying versus moving files. Thought it was a straightforward choice I missed. Appreciate the clarification.
