I noticed that when I move (cut/paste) files from the same drive (outside DB to inside DB)  the OS (Win10) is reading the original file and then writing the new file instead of just changing the NTFS table. Not sure if this is a DB thing or a windows thing. Personally, I'm not too keen because I'm currently copying ~800GB of files and worry about errors in the copy (as well as just the time it takes to copy).

 

The high CPU usage is (I assume) DB hashing the files for synchronization purposes. If you close out DB I imagine it will stop hashing the files and CPU usage will go down.
