Hey there everyone! I had a question and wanted to know if anyone could help me with it. My Corsair Survivor Stealth 128 GB flash drive is slower on Ubuntu than it is on Windows. Its not the fastest USB 3.0 flash drive in the world but I am happy with the speeds I get on Windows, not so much on Ubuntu. When I copy a single 8 GB .mkv file on Windows I get sustained write speeds of around 90 MB/s but on Ubuntu it peaks at 50 MB/s initially and then quickly drops to a sustained 25 MB/s. Any reason why this is? I don't see any big change when I format the drive to a different filesystem either. I had a hunch that it was because ntfs-3g wasn't as optimized as the drivers in Windows. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
