There is a problem with copying files over a network between a desktop computer and a file server. I use a laptop as a file server. When I copy large files (~ 18-20 gigabytes) from a stationary computer to a laptop, the speed at first is about 100-110 MB/s, and after a while it drops to about 30-60 MB/s. I looked through many forums and in most they say that this is caching when copying. When the RAM runs out, the speed decreases. On the laptop I use Windows Server 2019 Standard. On a desktop computer is Windows 10 Pro for Workstation 1909.
I tested copying on the Ubuntu Server 18.04 system. There are no such problems on it. Even when the entire memory is filled with a cache, the speed does not drop and is copied at about the same speed, 100+ MB/s all time.
I tried to disable caching in Device Manager. Not very helpful. It has become longer at an outgoing speed, but again when the RAM is full, it starts to clean it and the speed drops to the end of the cleaning, then rises again. Is there any way to make copying at a constant speed without significant jumps in speed?
