What's the NIC/CPU/Hard drive utilization on the server?

Ok, I need some advice from people I trust. The company I work for
had transitioned from in-house IT to Bell Technologies, so we
obviously swimming in 'tickets'. We have a main data drive on the
network, the 'K' drive and I've had a ticket in for about 8 months now
on slow transfers. The symptoms are this: When transferring a number
of files from a laptop/desktop, there will be data transfer for about
1 to 2 seconds, then 20 to 30 seconds of nothing. Rinse and repeat.
I've also noticed that if you transfer a single file, most of the time
it will transfer 99%, then you have 20 to 30 seconds of waiting until
it finishes.
Now to the question. I've just been told that slow transfers happen
when there is low disk space. Obviously we have a lot of users
accessing the network drive but the slow phenomenon wasn't present
some time ago and has been persisting for a couple of years now. Is
this third-party IT organization correct or blowing smoke. I have
been lied to before by them.
Thanks...Steve
