I need to store files in archives, but not compress them.

The archive manager takes too long, and I can't find an option to only store (not compress) files.

Any suggestions?

The fastest and easiest method to create an uncompressed tar archive is a Nautilus context menu installed by default.

After selection of a directory or files press the right mouse button to select "Compress..." from the context menu. In the following window choose .tar from the dropdown list, give a sensible name and a storage location for the archive, then press Create.
