Which distro/desktop? My standard ubuntu 18.04 with gnome and mounted through the file manager doesn't do this and copying to a slow USB drive is as glacial as it should be, but copying between internal drives is instant and hidden.

Default gnome on Ubuntu 20.04. How much free ram do you normally have? If you don't have enough to buffer the whole operation, then it's not a problem.

Now that I think about it, this might actually explain some bugs I've seen when copying multiple files. Copying one file seems to work but then copying a second the progress sits at 0%, it's probably waiting for the first transfer to sync.
