Just to refresh the memories, I have an external USB3 HDD (a Seagate 2TB) which I split into 2 partitions: partition 1 formatted in ext4 and partition 2 formatted in ntfs.
Presumably, each is about half the entire HD? If so, and #1 is at the front of the HD and #2 brings up the rear, then you can expect #2 to be slower even if using the same filesystem type as #1.
Yes, I saw this too a while ago when I was testing some 3Tb drives. I don't think the differences were as significant as what Basil's been seeing though. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
