The amount of the performance loss depends greatly on the capabilities of the hardware involved. The primary factors are the count and speed of the CPU cores, and how much CPU time is dedicated to other workloads.

 - Try an unbuffered I/O copy for files larger than 1 GB by using the `robocopy /J` command from Command Prompt or PowerShell.
 - Enable and use [SMB compression](/windows-server/storage/file-server/smb-compression).
 
-  - This greatly reduces transfer time and bandwidth utilization for large files containing significant whitespace, such as virtual machine disks (`.vhd`, `.vhdx`, `.vmdk`, `.ovf`), `.iso`, and `.dmp` files.
-  - Non-compressible data, like archive (`.zip`, `.7z`, and `.rar`), video (`.mp4`, `.mkv`), and audio (`.mp3`, `.flac`) files won't see significant performance improvements with SMB compression.
