Description

### Description

Copying files sometimes show transfer rates as TB/s instead of MB/s... I freaked out the first time when I saw 390 TB/s transfer rates...

Research direction

Start at the Status center's transfer-rate display and reproduce the issue while duplicating a file from a portable drive. Trace how the displayed measurement is selected, then verify that copying shows the correct unit rather than TB/s; the payload names no source file or test.
