Hello,
Could you please add option 'FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING' to Copy/Move/Rename Options window ?
It would help us to copy/move large/huge files (e.g. *.vhd/*.tib/*.7z/*.zip volumes/archives with size of 100 GB and more) without depleting all available memory that is eventually consumed by Windows for I/O cache. Once the memory is depleted, Windows starts swapping and becomes unresponsive (i.e. very slow) for all other actions.
Thank you.

This sounds strange, we are reading files with limited buffer (maybe up to 256KB). I can imagine OS will allocate some internal buffers but if it starts swapping, I think there is something very wrong. Do you have any information about this problem?

It's not the first time I heard about such a thing. Could it be this? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/976618
