BC, I happened to need to copy 1 TB of data between 2 NTFS USB-3 drives today. I only had a windows laptop handy and being who I am, I decided to boot a openSUSE boot cd/dvd instead of using windows. The boot cd/dvd I had handy was OS 12.2 based. I had built it myself (http://susestudio.com/a/eD1wrT/dfir-opensuse-gnome-desktop-32bit). I used the CLI and did cp -a /mnt/data /mnt1/data. I was running without X, just the alt-f2 style terminals. I got 90 MB/sec at the start of the process (per iostat -d 10). My data files were all 1.4GB each, so this was a large file copy test only. I haven't had the opportunity to test this with OS 12.3, but I'm very curious if OS 12.3 is slower than OS 12.2 for this or if you have something weird on your PC.
