For context:
I’m copying the same files to the same USB drive for comparison from Windows and from my Fedora 41 Workstation.
Around 10k photos.
Windows PC: Dual Core AMD Athlon from 2009, 4GB RAM, old HDD, takes around 40min to copy the files to USB
Linux PC: 5800X3D, 64GB RAM, NVMe SSD, takes around 3h to copy the same files to the same USB stick
I’ve tried chagning from NTFS to exFAT but the same result. What can I do to improve this? It’s really annoying.
done in that order, with the same disk? still might be a heat issue. reverse the order. do linux first, then windows.
although, to avoid the long-unmount issue, disable caching or significantly reduce cache size, and the progress bar will be more reasonable.
Yes, caching was disabled. Done again in reverse order, no time for the USB stick to cool down as I’ve popped it right into another device when it finished on the one before. And yes, the same USB stick I’ve tested with before.
fair enough. looks like sadness for your transfers. weak usb driver for your chipset, maybe.
