When transferring data to a secondary hard drive from the network or flash drive the data is held in RAM, if there enough, and then written to the second disk? My scenario is that I’m benchmarking some different storage solutions and I’m using an SSD as the OS drive and a 1TB wd black as a secondary drive on the initiator. I copy a few files to target, change a few things and test again. Fun, I know :).

I know that SSD's have a limited amount of writes and I would hate to waist a few terabytes when I do need to.
 
As I recall most hard drives are faster than most networks.

There is little reason to store much data destined for a hard drive in RAM.
