See-saw transfer rate writing large files to disk

[cohiba]

Hello, the transfer rate when writing a large file to my F5-221 TOS version 4.1.27-2006301044 looks like a see-saw with short periods of high-speed followed by short periods of no-speed. The attached screenshot illustrates this. What's happening, and how can I stop the slow downs?

if your transaction includes many small files, that could drop your speed like this. Or you have to check if your network connection is stable.
