Hello
I'm trying to have a performant network storage, attached to my RapsberryPI 4, in order to quickly store / retrieve my footage from my PC.
I have Icy Box RD-IB3640 RAID unit which was ntfs formatted, read performance was lower compared to a simple 2.5 HDD ext4 formatted, so I decided to backup my 1.7TB (not an easy task) and format the raid unit with ext4. The RAID box was performing a much better on Windows and the internet says that ntfs Linux support is far from optimal, performance and reliability wise.
Now I have a 3TB ext4 unit which performs very poorly :
When I format it back with ntfs I get (which is faster than before I first reformatted the disk) :
Any ideas ?
