Real SSD and HDD performance, what is limiting me?

Jim, in Iowa

I have a mix of SSD and HDD on my computer. SSD to SSD transfers occur at 260 MB/s, and HDD involved transfers run at about 120 MB/s. 

 

This seems well short of the rated transfer rates. File sizes are large, at 30 mb for DSLR photos. 

 

What would the limiting factor be for my transfer rates? SSDs are WD Blue, HDDs are WD Black. 

 

Thanks!

is it 260mb/s constant? or does it drop down? or does it start at higher speeds and then drop down to 260?

It starts higher then drops to 260 after 30 seconds or so.

Then yeah that's expected behavior, when the SSD runs out of DRAM cache it will show the actual speed of the NAND flash
