It seems that synch mode was indeed the cause for this.
I thought so.
This is at least a reasonable magnitude of the transfer rate. So the problem is solved for now for me.
BUT: As google finds the risk of data loss being the biggest drawback of the async mode, some questions remain:
- Is "safely remove" via kde the way to go at all to finish off all transfers?
Yes. Or manually "umount" the device.
- Can I trust kde to properly flush and umount everything when shutting the PC down, or do I have to "Safely remove" everytime before I shut down?
Should be safe. The halt script umounts every thing still mounted.
- Is there a certain idle time period after which I can assume no harm to my data, even when I just unplug the usb drive without "safely remove"?
You'd better not assume that. It might work, but if it fails once, well, your data will suffer. Suse added an option intermediate between sync and no sync, that flushed automatically. I forgot it's name. Try to find out that one. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
