You're looking for a way to keep your 100GB folder current regularly. I've tried copying the latest version, pasting it in, and deleting the old one. The process takes about three hours on Windows 10. I found FastCopy to be much slower—about six hours and twenty minutes. WizFile seems like a great search tool with lightning-fast results. It also loads the database quickly when you first open it. Hopefully, someone can create a solution for copy/pasting that works better!

FreeFileSync updates only the necessary files rather than removing and re-uploading everything.

The main concern is the speed of the storage devices being used. With a small folder and frequent deletions, you only need a lot of space in theory. A budget 500GB SSD offers good flexibility. A fast NVMe 1TB drive can be purchased for under $100 USD. Also, think about how the drives are connected—SATA, PCIe, or USB.

Teracopy? Probably due to filesystem and drive performance limits.

Alright, yes—it's a 2TB USB drive running at 3.0. The performance isn't the main concern; it'll be fast or slow depending on the copy software used. Overall, I'm searching for something quicker than Explorer, but so far they're lagging behind.

I'll attempt it. Yet, what I've seen so far shows Tera lags behind FastCopy in speed.

Robocopy performs well. I frequently employ the mirror plus multi-thread setting for my backups. I’d love to be able to run Robocopy on Linux, as I favor it over Rsync.
