HTTP is not a file transfer protocol and there is significant overhead in 'chunking' the data and moving it through a web server.

The speed difference you're referring to can also be affected by these factors:
- difference in drive performance between the machines
- difference in other operating factors (system load, available memory, network activity)
- bad Rx wire pair, NIC is compensating and working harder
- the version of IIS you are using

But, bottom line, disk->OS->OS->disk will always be faster than disk->OS->http->http->OS->disk.

Cheers.
