I don't think there is nothing wrong, just that copying sub-arrays of the same size, with the size known staticaly, can be improbed respect to std::copy. The assignement operator for arrays of equal size can use this static information, but the std::copy can not because it is based on iterators. Of course when the size is know at runtime std::copy  is the good option.

Best,
