Is there a way (simple way) to get the file transfer speeds while transferering files between hard drives? Like on windows!
Got a tip for us?

You might use Activity Monitor, select disk traffic (above) and watch the graphics at the bottom.
;JOOP!
oh i see, so theres no way to get that on the mac os current window for file transfer?
Why should you? MacOS does not need to copy MSWindows.
I wrote my own transfer program in JAVA but now I wonder why I do not use Activity Monitor.
Seeing all possible info doesn't make it any faster.
;JOOP!
I'm assuming the user simply wants to see the transfer speed in the same window that is currently copying files.
It seems like a hassle to open another program (Activity Monitor) just to check the speed.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why would i not? Its one extra info at the right place instead of opening extra apps to see the same info...
So, it seems that the answer to your question is:
if the tool you are using does not support it, the OS doesn't support it either.
;JOOP!
