Is it just my experience but exfat is so much slower on windows than ntfs.

RamRabbit@lemmy.world 1 day agoYeah, you will generally have a better time with exFAT, which is a format both Windows and Linux works with well. All my external drives get formatted as such.

For an external drive? I guess I have never experienced that since external drives are already pretty slow.

Yeah, it was an 860 Evo in an external SSD. It was like half the speeds of ntfs

I’ think this will be my best bet going forward. I still need to have my windows computer setup for modding, but i’d rather use linux for daily use and torrents.

exFAT is great for compatibility but it doesn’t have journaling, so if there’s a power outage while writing to a file, you can expect the file to get corrupted and unusable (which sucks). apart from that, yeah, it’s great.
what i can recommend if you’re working in a big organization or group or sth is to use a network drive, i.e. a drive that’s accessed over the network. you typically don’t have problems there.
