    Is there a limit to how much can be copy/pasted at one time?


    I did a Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V from one external HDD to another, where I had about 570 GB of data to move. The progress bar that Window's File Explorer gave me seems to indicate it will only move 400GB that's what originally showed up following "Items remaining:". What happened to the other 170 GB of data? Will it still get copied? Or do I have to stop the copy process now, and start over by copying in chunks?

    :)
