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?
