why does it take longer to transfer hundreds of files totalling 4 gigabytes than transferring one big 4 gigabyte file?
In: Technology
Think of each file like a book in a library. The computer needs to make sure the book is there, find the book, take the book to a table, sit down, open the book, flip through the book, close the book, stand up, walk back to where the book was found and then start again for each book. Now think about if the computer is strong enough and if a single book contained all of those smaller books, he could simply do the same activity just once.
