Copy jobs between my VMs run very slow esxi 5.5

I have a problem with my VMS .THEY ALL RUN ON ESXI 5.5  .when I copy files between VMs it is very slow not more than 10mb but if i copy the same files between vm and physical it reach 87mb .
I tryed to copy between to VMs they are in the same vswitch and sharing the same port group but I still get the same slow speed.both network configured with E1000.all VMs run windows servers (2003,2008,2016)

Try replace the E1000 network interface with the VMXNET3 interface (make sure VMware Tools installed to support this interface)

also what datastore supports the VMs ?

SATA, SAS, 7.2k, 10k, 15k disks, RAID type ?
How about copying the files from VM to host and then from host to another VM? It would be really slow to copy files between VMS.
