WD Blue poor throughput

Hello,

Iam using WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD 2.5" 7mm 500GB, where i continuously transfer large amount of data. When the data size is small (~1-5GB), iam able to achieve throughput of about 3Gbps. When the data size is increased (>10GB) the data throughput is reduced to 0.5Gbps. How to increase my throughput with larger files?
