Error with large archive extract on ssd disk

[bob74]

Since I have upgraded my SATA disk to SSD I cannot successfully extract a large zip archive locally. However I can extract the same zip archive successfully on a IDE/SATA disk.

Hello bob74,
Both in Explorer and TC?

Hi there,

Sorry it is RAR files and not zip.

Multiple archives - total size > 4 GB

I have 2 computers one with ssd disks and one with sata. I have tested the extract with same version of TC 7.57a on both of them. Works fine on SATA disk and not on SSD.

I have tried both to extract over network and locally on the machine with SSD.

Multiple archives - total size > 4 GB

Try formatting disk to NTFS or EXFAT(FAT64) instead of FAT32.

My disk is NTFS.

1. Can WinRAR extract them?
2. Does it matter where the original archive is located — on the same SSD or not?
3. Total size > 4 GB — how many files are there and what are their individual sizes?
4. What error message do you get?
5. Does this error appear at the very beginning, or after a part of the first file was unpacked, or after several files were unpacked?
5a. In the latter case, try to guess the difference between the files that were unpacked successfully and the file which gave an error (size, timestamp, attributes, strange file name…)
6. Can you unpack to your SSD some smaller RAR archives?
7. Does it matter in which subdirectory you perform unpacking, or you tried several different subdirectories, and they all failed? (While at the same time unpacking a smaller archive into exactly the same directory succeeded?)

…and so on. I mean, you gave us too little information. Try to perform some analytical work here, narrow down the set of all possible variables to those which really matter. For example, I cannot reproduce your issue; on my computer a RAR archive size of 5,8Gb unpacked to SSD successfully using TC 7.57a and 8.0rc2 x64, so there should be some other factor, and not only that it's an SSD and that archive size must be large.

I can answer some of the questions but not all without having to go back and recreate the issue.

I'll collect the requested data and get back with this in one go.

Is this a multi-part RAR? There was a bug in unrar.dll included in TC 7.56a and 7.57a, it cannot unpack multi-part RAR if the parts aren't all in the same directory. The newer unrar.dll in TC8 RC2 fixes this bug.

Yes this is a multi part Rar and it works in v8.0 final

Thanks for all you help.
