The portable drive is a HDD, formatted with BTRFS (same as each of the three F40 machines, the two desktops and the laptop). The desktops have HDDs and the laptop has an SSD but they always have and the transfer speed used to be faster, none of that hardware has changed. After noticing the slow transfer, I'm testing by rsync'ing a single large file in both directions to note the transfer speed (and of course deleting it on the target disk afterwards so it's doing the full transfer each time). I suppose that nowadays it's rare to have machines with black USB 2.0 ports so that may be why nobody's noticed it, my hardware is old. As I said the speed seems to be more or less normal to/from the laptop with its USB 3.x ports, though I'm puzzled why it would be slower with the yellow ports than the blue ones, yellow ports are faster. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
