Quoting: "For NTFS the native 32-bit Windows XP-SP2 driver was used." ... "The NTFS filesystem and driver, performed very poorly, especially when copying from one NTFS partition to another. It is possible the problem is not filesystem related, but due to the SATA driver that shipped with the motherboard (or Windows XP). Or, it might be a problem related to running a 32-bit operating system on a 64-bit machine. Who knows?" ... "Interestingly enough, the NTFS/fuse project is most probably another effort designed to have NTFS preform poorly under Linux. By design, NTFS/fuse is a user space driver, and thus will never compete favorably with Microsoft's kernel drivers. The Linux NTFS kernel driver was knocked on the head some years ago, after claims, probably false, of how dangerous it was to use. Anyway, instead of fixing the supposed problems, the work to that point was just thrown away and the NTFS/fuse project started."
