Low I/O performance during reading a big table

Hello for all!

I have a large database - more than 2 Tb. These database has two large tables of over than 400 Gb each. I need to export these tables to file for external processing by my partner.

For it I run simple select query without "where" condition.

It must read all the rows in the table. But this happening very slowly.

At the same time, I have the following conditions:

• the database is running in a virtual machine
• only one session exists on entire database - it's me
• only one select is running, which I wrote about above
• the disk on which the database files are located is fast - more than 400 Megabytes per second per read
• but the database (SQL Server) reads data only at a rate of 6-10 Mb/sec
• In the performance statistics, I see a lot of pageiolatch_ex waits
• if I run selections from other tables in several sessions, then MS SQL can load a disk up to 200-300 MB/sec
• but reading data from one large table in one session is very slow, it takes more than a day!
• Resource Governor is disabled

I have no idea. I need to speed up this process, as I have to do it often at the moment.

Colleagues, what could be the reason?
