System freeze/Laggs on large file transfer (copy/move)

Hi
whenever I try to transfer large amounts of files (some big files or several small files), the system will freeze or laggs multiple times during transfer operation.
this doesn't matter if I copy from 2 partitions on the same HDD or two different HDD.

I even encountered this problem on other distros like Ubuntu, Debian as well. also my friends who have linux installed on SSD complains about this problem.

My System Info:
Dell XPS L502x
HDD: 750 GB 7200RPM
RAM: 8 GB
CPU: i7-2630 QM
