Fastcopy is doing *something* weird :-).

1. FastCopy (FastCopy.exe), 8MB (need to revise FastCopy default setup)
Process Name    Operation       Path    Detail
System  TCP Send        10.19.7.63:64845 -> 10.19.250.98:445    Length: 8388724, startime: 3459115, endtime: 3459149, seqnum: 0, connid: 0
System  TCP Receive     10.19.7.63:64845 -> 10.19.250.98:445    Length: 84, seqnum: 0, connid: 0
FastCopy.exe    WriteFile       \\10.19.250.98\Public\1GB.img   Offset: 92,274,688, Length: 8,388,608, Priority: Normal

I wonder if it has it's own SMB client code
built in ?

Either that or it knows what parameters to change
in the SMB redirector to request 8MB IO.

I wonder if setting a CreateOptions allows this
somehow ?
