I don't know. In the case of the external disk above it seems a hardware 
limitation. Either the disk or the USB3 interface of the disk or the 
computer.

ok.. see if the quote thing worked lol.
So just to be clear, I have been building computers, networks, etc for many 
years now.. only saying that to ensure that for the most part, I understand the 
various speeds that USB, SATA, etc should be able to do. Not that anyone was 
totally questioning that of me, but wanted to throw out there that I do have 
the knowledge of the basic hardware stuff.  It is in particular with ffmpeg 
that I am blundering.
With that in mind, lets assume I had nothing but SSD drives. My laptop has 2 
NVMe 960 EVO drives, and one SATA3 SSD. For clarity, it is a SAGER desktop 
replacement laptop.. not very portable. Also has a 2TB Firecuda SSHD and 64GB 
RAM with 6700K cpu.
What sort of speeds should I see when concatting two DNxHR SQ 4K videos 
together?  That would help me understand better what to expect. I would assume 
from some other posts I found around the interwebs, that I should see 150fps to 
300fps  with this process, not what i see now at a paltry 9fps.  If this is a 
CPU bound task.. the CPU indicates it is using 1% total.. but the disk usage 
shows at about 20%. So I would assume that I am still not being hampered by 
disk i/o given that it is not maxed out.
I will be building my threadripper system in a couple weeks.. I hope that 
ffmpeg will benefit from the 16 cores and be much faster... assuming I can get 
past whatever the issue is with why it is so slow now.
