When I attempt to transfer/copy a relatively large file onto a USB drive I get some unusual behaviour.The transfer rate seems to be stable at first until the end of the transfer approaches. For example, transferring a 2 GB file, once 1.7 GB has been transferred the transfer rate seems to plummet from ~90 Mb/s to 10 Mb/s and stabilise at 10 for the remainder of the transfer.Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or is anyone else experiencing this issue? Thanks.Edit: I've actually noticed it's significantly worse than I had thought. It's starting at ~400 Mb/s and dropping exponentially until it reaches ~1 Mb/s.
