This seems to narrow the problem down to the USB 3.2 performance,
which well mb affected by inferior devices on the stick.
I was able to mount the partition, edit a file & browse it,
but re-actions to commands are very slow.
I'll try to format the other partitions on both sticks,
tho' a final verdict will take some time (wry grin).
