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.

    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

        Thanks but that does not solve my problem. I’m not looking for alternative. If someone hands me USB drive to copy files for him I won’t be able to use “LocalSend”.
