single 4.4GB video file
No it did not get warm at all because it was barely doing anything. But so that I’m fair I’ve borrowed different USB 3.2 Gen1 drive and tested also with my Fedora Laptop.
single 4.4GB video file
it just finished, 4h for 40GB (6 files)
Still going…
Now down to 9MB/s and still going down
EDIT: 12 min later…
For sanity check I’ve tried.
Bus 004 Device 004 and it’s USB 3.0 as it should be.
Also I’ve disabled caching and I’m now copying 6 video files at only just 15MB/s (and it’s slowing down, byt the time I went to make screenshot for this post it dropped again). And it’s quite a bit slower than on Windows still.
I’ve ran sync and it exited already 4 times and the copy is still going
This actually sounds like it could be the case, I’ll explore tomorrow as I’m already in bed. Thanks for suggestion.
Edit: disabling caching yielded an improvement but very minor, writing to USB stick still sucks
That’s nice but I managed to copy 300GB worth of data from the Windows PC to my Linux PC in around 3h to make a backup while I reinstall system and now I’ve been stuck for half a day copying the data back to the old Windows PC and I’ve not even finished 100GB yet… I’ve noticed this issue long ago but I ignored it as I never really had to copy this much data. Now it’s just infuriating.
Does not work either
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.
