Gigabit Win7 to WHS - Network Drops

Hi,

I've recently set-up a WHS Server which is connected to my main PC (Windows 7) via the the TP-Link 5 Port 10/100/1000 Desktop Switch.

I'm attempting to copy all my music, pictures and videos to the server. All the cables are gigabit capable, but I'm getting the following spikes regardless if it's small files or a huge file. Can anyone offer any help please.

Edit...
Just realised "Spikes" is probably not the correct term, as It's the drops that's an issue

you sure its not because your moving bunches of files? i have the same problem with transfering say, a few albums where it will be a lot slower than when it transfers a single movie file.

thought of rar/ziping the files before you transfer them over?

Use something other than windows copy.

Try Unstoppable copier, its how I moved my stuff onto WHS, logs all the files and if one file isnt available, it skips it rather than breaking the whole transfer (logs it as well). Will also let you know about speeds and a more accurate time remaining countdown. Free as well

Tried a different switch?

Make and model of NICs?
