Is there anyway to increase the extracting speed for 9gb/12gb files using 7zip and winrar?

Buy a new CPU or harddrive, whatever your bottleneck is.

It's probably your Hard drive since it's the slowest part. If you want the fastest possible, buy SCSI. Its slowest, is twice the speed of the fastest IDE/SATA.

You may also want to temporarily disable your antivirus so that it doesn't scan stuff as it's extracted. That may speed things up.

and check if your system drive has enough free space. if it's nearly full it can slow your extraction speed.

will it work? Well, 33.5 minus 11 equals 22.5, which is above zero, so it should.  Another thing you can do to speed extraction up is defragmenting the disk you're copying the files to, so that there's more contiguous free space.

Buy a SSD if you want speed.

will it work? This may sound stupid... anyway. When you are extracting files, aren't they extracted to a temporary folder on the OS's partition and then moved to the destination folder? I hope the OS isn't on E drive Dunno why i asked this lol Level of compression, doesn't it have anything to do with this _________________

On 7-Zip, direct extraction to the directory you wish is, well, direct. But if you drag and drop, the files pass through the temporary folder, which is useless if you ask me. No idea of what archiver or extraction method mewanthelp may be using. Quote: Level of compression, doesn't it have anything to do with this Indeed, the higher the compression level is, the more time it takes to extract.
