I am running Manjaro/Arch with kernel version 4.5.4-1.įirst of all: I realized that the drive is formatted in FAT (not in NTFS, as I originally stated in the question) when I tried to mount it with -o big_writes. How can I fix it? What steps can I perform to diagnose what is causing this? The stick is formatted in FAT (it came pre-preformatted and I didn't change it) and I would like to keep it this way since I am using it on Windows as well,

Using Windows (dual-boot on the same computer), the same 1 GB file can be copied in about 8s. Writing to my USB 3 thumb drive (SanDisk Extreme SDCZ80-064G-FFP) is very slow on Linux: 1 GB takes longer than 200s.

Usb 3 transfer rate really slow
