- Filligree 3y agoAlso because NTFS is just... slow.
- dralley 3y agoNTFS isn't especially slow, the Windows filesystem layer as a whole is slow. All those layers of abstraction that allow for things like automatic security scanning of opened files don't come cheap.
- ynik 3y agoFun fact: NTFS on C: is extra slow. A Python script creating 10000 empty files takes 1.2s on C:, but only 0.5s on D:. Both are NTFS partitions on the same SSD, both partitions are using the default settings. (but the defaults differ: on the system drive Windows enables compatibility features such as 8dot3names, on additional partitions it does not)
