Hi, your setup seems normal for 10Gb NICs, but the behavior you're seeing could be due to file type differences or other factors. The speed fluctuations might relate to how Windows handles different formats during transfer. You could try using a different file format or checking if third-party tools are affecting performance. Let me know what you find!
You notice the disk I/O activity. The drives involved in copying are unclear. The Task Manager displays relevant information. It seems like clearing the SLC cache on an SSD you're copying to.
Thank you for your prompt reply. The server drive Force MP510 and Force MP600 are both operating as OS drives. For the test file, it’s unclear how beneficial this file is since it was generated in the Task Manager via cmd on the server. The usage peaked at 89%, with a minimum write speed of 880MB/s and a maximum of 2GB/s. Response times ranged from 75ms to 510ms. On my desktop, usage remained minimal—almost no activity. For the video file, the server consistently reached 98% utilization, with response times between 800ms and 1500ms. Read speeds stayed around 600MB/s, occasionally reaching up to 2.1GB/s, while transfer rates fluctuated between 600MB/s and 700MB/s. The desktop usage stayed near 50% and dropped to about 600MB/s reads.
This appears to be a maximum usage constraint. The high 89% utilization across drives likely stems from disk I/O limits. It looks like the specific drive was written to first. Consider upgrading to a faster SSD or implementing a RAID configuration with multiple SSDs.
Great, I understand what I can do next. Appreciate the help!
