Low throughput when copying files over SMB to a scale-out file server backed by Storage Spaces in Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario: 
  • You use Storage Spaces to create storage pools on a Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2-based failover cluster.
  • You have a file server or scale-out file server resource that hosts continuously available Server Message Block (SMB) 3.0 (or a later version) shares that are backed by the storage pools.
  • You try to copy large files from a Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 computer to the continuously available SMB shares.
In this scenario, the observed copy throughput is significantly lower than what the connected network and storage system can support.
