Well I thought I'd try uploading from a different hard-drive to the Media Player, and found that I was getting full speeds straight away using the other drive. The other drive is a Western Digital 640GB Caviar Blue, while the Movies drive is a Samsung 2TB HD204UI.
On all my drives I have write caching turned off (and the "Quick Performance" policy enabled), but I thought I'd see if turning it on would improve the problem on the Samsung. With the "Better Performance" policy enabled and then "enable write caching on this device" ticked, file transfers from the drive to the Media Player reached full-speed (over 7MB/s) within a matter of seconds, and stayed at this level. I've tested about six-seven uploads and so far all transfers have worked normally since enabling write-caching.
Regards.
Paul
