Going through the graphical benchmark I can actually see "why": the read speed is making a straight line at about 450MB/s in NTFS ( https://imagebin.ca/v/5td8fZkQCGY9 ) while it's zigzagging with ext4 ( https://imagebin.ca/v/5td8voL3uiqj )
Any idea why this happens?
By default, ext4 is formatted with lazy initialization. It's possible that it's affecting the benchmark since I assume you had just formatted it before testing.
yes I just had.
It seems that if the drive unmounted is unmounted then the zigzagging disappears. So maybe that's also just that?
