December 30, 20214 yr When transferring large files like this family video that was shot in 4K (25 Gigs), I notice that when the file is transferring simply from the cache drive to the array the server seems to intermittently get bogged down. That is, the transfer will proceed pretty fast for about 1 minute and then it seems to get saturated and the speed drops to 0 for about 30 seconds. Overall, the file gets there and playback seems fine, but I'm trying to understand what the culprit might be here and why it just doesn't transfer in a stable fashion. I have 16 Gigs of RAM. I checked and that doesn't seem to be it since there is plenty of free RAM when these transfers takes place. I did notice one of the threads of the processor on the server does go to 100% when the saturation occurs, but all the others still have free space. Not sure what to attribute this to.
