Hi
I've been moving some data between hard drives. They are large, relatively slow SATA drives, and, I'm getting about 95-110 MB/sec file transfer rates, if I transfer one at a time.
I recently tried 5 different file transfers at the same time, and, the transfer rates got REALLY low, like 6-15MB/sec. I was ok with this, thinking that when the first file completed, the large amount of bandwidth it was using, maybe 60 MB/sec, would be transfered to the other files being transfered. NO, they stayed at the same, very slow rates.
I canceled those transfers, and seem to be limited to single file transfers if I want to take full advantage of the drives speed limit. WEIRD. Thought by 7 it would adapt...
