Michael,

This is quite a good article on Toms Hardware, addressing network copy operations; http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gigabit-ethernet-bandwidth,2321.html[^]

If you are going to be doing this large volume transfer regularly, i think the first thing to do would be to improve your network infrastructure in attempt to get upto the theoretical limits of the interconnect. e.g. do both ends and any switches in between support jumbo frames etc.

I use RDII Disk Benchmark 2 by Ives Heymans, using unbuffered IO to test my PC to QNAP TS509 Pro Raid Box. search the net for it, it is free software. The software uses varying block sizes, and allows you to try varying things to get a consistent test.

You will also want to make sure that your hard disks are defrag'd, so the read head is not have jump around all over the place and is reading from a contiguous block.

Reading the Toms hardware article, you will see they maximised the io by transferring from Ram to Ram over the network. You may want to look at using 1 thread to transfer files into a ram disk, and the other thread to move from the ram disk out to the network, this is keeping all your subsystems occupied, but without sharing on the slowest part, the hard disk.
