Windows 10: File copying speed fluctuates and hangs on 0%. Windows 10

I have a HP xw8600 workstation with 2xE5440 processors, 32gb ram and 480GB SSD.



It has been working fine up until the last week or so where it has started to run slow and do some weird things. It is used to edit and render graphics working off shared storage in an office. All other PCs are working fine so its not a network problem.



When copying anything to the PC (either from the shared storage or even just from the desktop to my documents on the same hard drive in the PC) the speed fluctuates massively between 150mb/s-30mb/s and then up and down until it finally settles around 10mb/s before dropping to 0mb/s and hanging for a while. This then repeats until the file is transferred. When copying from the PC to the shared storage it works fine.



Now I have tried these steps to try and get to the bottom of it

-Wiped PC with fresh install of windows 10

-Changed SSD out for hard drive with windows 10 on

-Removed all ram and other PCI-e cards and just run with one 1 stick of ram (tried a couple of different sticks)

-Different network cards and ports.

-resetting BIOS to factory settings



None of this has helped. I have found a few things online that I have tried and none of that has helped either. Is there something simple I am missing here or is something big about to go on the motherboard or something?



I am pulling my hair out here trying to sort this out. Any ideas?

LAN transfer speed fluctuation

I recently bought a new Win 10 laptop. I transfered my data from my old win7 laptop to the new one via lan cable. But the copying speed fluctuates between 11 MBPS to 200 KBPS. And am talking about a single large file of about 11 GB. I don't get it. I am
not using internet connection and only those two computers are connected via LAN. I just wanna know the reason for such fluctuation.

 

File copying speed questions

Quite easily USB flash storage pen drive speed can be influenced by type of HDD or SSD inside the machine (both the physical device itself, the controller they are connected to via motherboard in terms of hardware, firmware and drivers wise), the USB controller on the particular machine (which includes hardware, firmware and drivers) and lastly there is the performance of the USB pen drive itself.

Normally you would get good USB pen drive performance from machines with the latest hardware, updated with latest firmware and software, and when the machine is used with a new USB pen drive with good performance specifications.

As for speed fluctuations the first part of the process is often done with temporary burst speed and drops down to a sustained speed, and transfer speeds can vary with different types of files such as copying a single file (often fast), multiple files (normally take longer and can take longer than copying multiple files, which are collectively the same size, as a single file) or a compressed files with either a single or multiple files inside (normally faster than uncompressed files of the same set of files which were compress into the compressed archive file).

 

File copying speed questions

Hello,
a few days ago while copying a file to my flash drive, and painfully watching the speed at 2Mb\s this subject kinda intrigued me (especially because my first thought was that something is wrong with my drive*Eek! )

So anyway, say I'd like to copy a file from Drive A to B. From the little I know, copying speed should be determined by drive's A read speed, drive's B write speed, and the connection speed(usb 2\3, sata etc)?Essentially the copying speed being the slowest? Like in my case the write speed of my old USB drive?

Also why does the copy speed fluctuate? For example for my flash drive starts copying at about 6mb\s, and then for the most part stays at 2mb\s.Same happens with my SSD and HDD but thankfully at MUCH MUCH higher speeds *Respect :respect:
