• Is ultracopier still the very best in terms of open source alternative file copying/merging tool ?

  I used robocopy on a slow network to transfer many gigabyte of data; properly configured with retries and everything worked great. Don't know about your merge needs, so take a look into it and do some tests before actually running it. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is copying the best way to transfer large amounts of files?

• Best way to move all files from TrueNAS Scale to new Synology?

  Several ways copy over files, depending on your technical capability and requirements. Some prefer to drag & drop or copy file by file between shares, slower but works best when reorganizing folders. Windows for bulk copy between shares use Robocopy via command line or free file copy utility like FreeFileSync, Midnight Commander or Total Commander.
