The Scenario
I work with laravel frequently and if anyones worked with framework you should know that the "vendor" folder contains 6000+ files within multiple folders.
Something ive noticed is the speed of copying a laravel project to another internal directory is EXTREMELY slow (atleast 10 minutes per project). At first I thought there was a problem with my SSD but i soon realised after zipping my project folder and copying it to a new destination that the problem was with the amount of files and folders in my projects.
The Question
Is there a special type of SSD or hard drive type that allows me to copy vast amounts of files and folders in directories/subdirectories (Extremely Fast) without needing to zip the files first. Or if theres a way to zip / unzip this amount of folders at high speeds that would also be beneficial
I can zip them but it takes just as long to zip, compress, move and then uncompress as it does to copy and paste the files over to a new destination making zipping useless for me.
I want to just be able to make new copies of the project on the fly for testing / backup purposes!
