You're trying to copy multiple files at once, which makes the operation slower, think about if, if you need to move your stuff from a room to another, is't faster if you have them packed, or to move them one by one ?
Same thing on Windows,
If you're copying multiple files at once, no matter how the speed you computer is, it'll be slower than your computer are, that's because Windows cannot move your files as one package, it'll move them one by one, and that takes a longer time than copying one file with same size.
So, if you want to a better copying performance, you should use some other third party tools, or just pack the files into one compressed file, then move that file, it'll move it faster.
