On servers running Windows Server 2012 with Broadcom Network adapters file access performance (read and write) within and between VM’s on Hyper-V are reported to be terrible by some administrators.
I’ve had this problem myself with my Dell servers runnin Broadcom network adapters and after a few hours I found a solution that actualy solves this problem.
disable ALL instances of TCP Offloading, and Recieve Side Scaling on the HOST’s LAN NIC and disable the Virtual Machine Queues property . These options are found here:
Device Manager tool, expand the “Network adapters” section, right-click on the adapter that supports the VMQ feature, and select “Properties.” In the properties window, select the Virtual Machine Queues property, set the value to Disabled”
