Apparently both folders are on different filesystems. A move on the same filesystem is instantaneous. And yes, on systems with lower resources the described behaviour is known to happen. If the system is really stressed it might even kill your transmission.

Same disk != same filesystem. It looks like your setup is copying + deleting the content instead of a low-level filesystem move. As your drive is so fast the throughput is probably stalling all other IO-operations. What filesystem(s) are you using anyway?

You should have lead with this. So can I assume you have EXT4 as your filesystem, since it is the default?
In the settings.json, what are the values for "download-dir" and "incomplete-dir"?
Oh, and do you have a post download script enabled?
