Reasonably sure. As it copies the files, it displays the directory path and file name of each file as it is being copied. Since many of my files are large (50+ megabytes) the copy process takes long enough that I can read the filenames as they go by.

Since the source drive is an internal SATA drive, and the destination drive is an external USB drive, I suspect that the destination drive is indeed much slower than the source drive.
