I recently got some USB 2.0 sticks to put ventoy on. Since speed is not important I went for cheap.
It’s a 128GB Phillips USB.
I’ve noticed copy speeds would quickly drop to very low numbers and I had to start using rsync to be able to restart. Which then needed to happen several times.
Quitting individual applications made it suddenly got a lot faster. Weird.
I had it formatted as exFAT
Now formatting the stick as NTFS, on windows, without quick format checked. It’s been going 2 hours and is barely halfway.
Is this a bad USB stick? How would I verify such a thing?
