Copying files within SSD drive very slow

[jnmjr]

I'm creating new file inside my existing SSD 860 Evo, I'm trying to copy my video files to this new file, the copy speed is shockingly slow, the total size is 42.5 gig. Can any one explain how to speed this process up. I'm not the brightest lightbulb in Linux. THX.

jnmjr; Hello

What is the command you are using to do that copy ?
What file system is on the original source ?
What is the source ?

what is the file system on where the copy is being completed to ?

linux - always more than one way to an end

Ubuntu 18.04, file system ext4, video file to new video file copy, .mod files. This just a straight "copy to" operation.
