Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
When I copy e.g. 100GB to an external drive (2TB, connected via eSata) the transfer rate starts at about 50MB/s and soon drops to 13MB/s. Both drives are ext4. One thing I found quite strange is that while copying it used 400MB of swap space although free said there was still 1.4GB of RAM available. Maybe some kind of swapping slows the reading down!? Might be same as bug #541937 (although then it's not only related to the link type).
