JorgeB Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 First few GBs of any transfer are cached to RAM, IIRC 20% free RAM by default, so initial speed is much faster, up to line speed, after that you are limited by the actual device writing speed. Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 For mostly smaller transfers you can get good results by increasing RAM (or RAM cache) size, for larger transfers only by using faster devices that can keep up, like NVMe devices or a multi device raid0/5/10 cache pool. Quote Link to comment
joyson Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 @johnnie.black thanks for your help much appreciated i increase the ram to 64GB and my transfer speed increase to 500-600 MB and its consistence through out the transfer even for larger files. Quote Link to comment
