transfer rate starts decreasing. As you all know data transfer rate
depends on types of files you are transferring like songs, docs, videos
may get transferred very quickly and also depends on locations of Files.

folder then transferred very Fast. But if you want to transfer files
from one drive to another then it will take some time same likewise in
