Hello I have a removable hard drive sporting an HFS+ connected to a USB3 port. The drive is a Seagate Slim Line 2T. I am using a driver from Paragon Sofware to write/read from this drive. I am running Windows10 build 19041.508 (ie up to date)
Writing to this file system using the unix cp command is incredibly slow: cp my_file /cygdrive/h/some_destination The same write, using copy paste in Windows Explorer is much faster. I have not precisely timed it, but it is way more than an order of magnitude faster (a 1G file took approx 10 mins: the graphical display shows just a few seconds). (In Windows Device Manager I have the policy for the drive set to be "Better Performance" and not "Quick Removal" -- apparently the latter can lead to dramatic degradation in performance). Can anyone suggest what might be the cause?
