Abstract
Dynamically adjusting a block size in a data transfer operation is disclosed. An indication that a data transfer operation has commenced is received. A first portion of data is read using a first read block size. A first throughput associated with the first read block size is determined. A second portion of data that is different from the first portion of data is read using a second block size that is different from the first read block size. One of the first and second read block sizes is used to complete the data transfer operation based on a comparison of the first throughput and a throughput of the second read block size. This process can be repeated several times as necessary.
