Windows 10: How can I dedicate more RAM to file transfer?

I'm in the process of copying large (25-100 GB) blocks of data from several HDDs to a 4TB HDD just purchased. The transfer begins fast then slows to a snails pace. I partially understand that maybe buffering getting to capacity may be a problem. But I look at the performance tab/resource monitor in Task Manager and see that RAM is not nearly being used at capacity. I've closed some programs that run in the background but didn't make much difference.

See the attached picture.

How can I increase performance? I'm assuming that I need to release more RAM to be used for the file transfer?? Maybe I need to do something else - any advice will be appreciated.

Issues with total memory size of dedicated available RAM

Hello Gevorg,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community an we regret for the inconvenience.

From the description provided, I understand that the motherboard you are using has 4 DIMM slots which supports up to 8 GB of dedicated RAM.

To be able to understand the issue better. let us know how are you viewing the total memory size of dedicated available RAM in your PC.

Now, in one case, if you are using more than one module of RAM, and the frequencies at which they operate are not the same. There will be two outcomes:

• The modules will conflict in terms of DIMM frequencies and it will declare memory failure.
• Instead of downclocking one or more RAM/s, the motherboard will reject the ones from being accepted.

In order to ascertain if the hardware is correctly configured, I suggest you to check the system information in the BIOS settings. Refer to the manufacturer provided manual to know more about on how to access the BIOS settings.

In another scenario, your computer may also be allocating part of your RAM to other hardware modules, such as your network hardware.

As a secondary workout, I suggest you to increase the Virtual Memory and check if it helps. Follow the steps below.

• 
  Click Windows key + R to open the RUN command utility and type
  msconfig.exe, then press ENTER.
  
• 
  Click on Boot option and select advanced options.
  
• 
  Check the maximum memory box and change the value accordingly.
  
• 
  Click on Apply and Ok to save changes and click Restart the computer.
  

Hope the above information is helpful.

Thank You.
