Network Drive attached as SCSI Dropping the W/R speed on bigger files
I'm having Network disk attached a SCSI disk
When copying smaller files like 700MB or even 1 GB, speed is high , from 90MB/s to 120 MB, so I'm capable to benefit from 1Gbit network. But if files is around 4 GB, the speed is dropping in 10 Seconds and goes to 15-8 MB/s , I understand its getting capped, So I'm wondering, shall I look in to the router, some sort of burst feature, or windows has some sort of capping too?
You have caches at both sides so while writes are write-buffered you get wire speed, eventually performance goes down.

Make sure you disable cache when testing!
