Multi-Thread Robocopy – Update

OK, I know I already went on and on about this, but this just blew my mind!  My boss just loaded Windows 7, and was copying his old data from an external USB drive to his new computer – 128GB worth of data.  He used the /MT:128 (the maximum number of threads) and here are his results:
