raw USB speeds are faster but not fast on OpenBSD. > ntfs-3g is the slowest then msdos gets around 2200 Kilobytes/s. ntfs-3g uses fuse(4) which has its own performance issues. > The same msdos stick gets 12000 Kilobytes/s on Win 10. msdosfs has also known performance issues. > FFS is faster. Strange to me that usb hdd have always been fast with > any filesystem. I will try a ntfs-3g usb hdd on a recent snapshot. The speed of USB devices my vary a *lot* as well. So to resume the situation you have at least 3 different subsystems where performance could be improved on top of pieces of hardware of different quality. Everything can be improved, it's a matter of dedication ;) But make sure you don't compare oranges to apples.
