I have this network shares on a Windows 7 host:

  • D (SATA HDD1 D:)

  • E (SATA HDD2 E:)

They are mounted remotely as 'D' and 'E'.

Network speed is 100mbps Cat-5. (max transfer speed is ~ 1.25Mbytes/s)

Remotely, when I copy a large folder from D to E shares ("theorically" from one HDD to another) it is faster than the network speed but way slow than if I copy the files locally.

  • Actual network copy speed: ~ 1.25Mb/s. (maximum)

  • Local speed HDD-to-HDD copy speed: ~ 110Mb/s. (SATA speed)

  • Copying files remotely from mount points D to E: ~ 50Mb/s

The copy comand is remote but the source and destination are local to each other. How can I increase the transfer speed in this scenario?

Run the copy command on the remote machine. Either by logging in yourself or with powershell script which logs in and copies needed files/directories.
