The first thing that came to mind is that newer versions of macOS have a filesystem throttling feature (yes, really): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31788

exFAT should be simple if it's a variant of traditional FAT, although I haven't looked at the spec in detail; hence why I doubt the FS driver itself is to blame.
(FYI no need to keep the additional tracking parameters in your link.)
- sillysaurusx 3y agoI winced at the tracking parameters when I pasted the link. I gave up trying to keep my privacy private, but I forgot that another reason to delete them is out of respect for whoever is clicking, not just me. Thanks for calling that out; I’ve edited them out. And thanks for the data point about the mystery. It always bugged me that it wasn’t quite tracked down. Isn’t filesystem throttling a problem with the driver, though? Switching to a third party exFAT driver immediately fixed whatever was happening.
