So most of the forum threads I can find on the internet about this are related to USB transfer rates. Mine is not.
Basically, I have a pretty formidable system with a large amount of storage — 17TB at the moment. I’m a part time pro photographer, and about once a month or so move all my new photos from a Microsoft storage spaces RAID 1 to an 8TB archive drive. When I do this though (talking about 100+ gb of ~30mb files) I don’t get a steady transfer speed at all. It bounces between a few KB per second, then all the way up to 100mb/s and back down again at random. Basically, moving 100GB somehow ends up taking two hours, averaging maybe 20MB/S.
Since this is between SATA drives, I’m not sure what the issue is. I have seen large files copy over a network connection with more stability than this. Any ideas?
