I've noticed a strange issue popping up when transferring large amounts of data. Anything more than 1gb in files (regardless if it is lots of smaller files or few larger files), the transfer rate slows significantly.
Initially, I'll get 25mb/s or so in transfer speed, but it will slow to 1-2mb/s as the transfer progresses. The slowdown in transfer speed is predictable. At 1gb, it will suddenly slow; but then it will also only slow to 10mb/s to 15mb/s. As it continues to progress, there is a gradual decline in the speed. I've had the same issue on several different platforms (T400, T410, T60, and T61p) and with different OS (WinXP Pro, W7Pro, and Ubuntu). I am not sure if this is a hardware or software issue, or both for that matter. The system I am using now is a T61p running Ubuntu 10.04 (64bit). I have a 500gb HD and 8gb of ram. Any similar experiences? And hopefully a solution?
