Teracopy Verify feature, why doesn't it read in data from both drives at the same time? (old.reddit.com)

I don't get why it first reads in the file from one drive, calcs the checksum then reads it in from the other drive and does the same. While it's reading from one drive the other drive does nothing. Doesn't this just take twice as long?

In addition for each and every file one drive is being spun up, read then spun down when not being read until the other drive is done and the program moves onto the next file. And does this for every single file. Isn't this really bad for the drive? I don't get why this is the approach.
