Your expectations have some vague assumptions: - the stick achieves full speed of its USB protocol - it keeps that throughput over time - the data written grows linearly with the FS size USB sticks often have a bad thermal design and throttle down once they get= =20 hot. And hot they get, especially the high-speed ones. If you are curious, use a program like dool or glances to observe the=20 device=E2=80=99s actual write throughput during formatting. htop can show t= his, too,=20 but you first need to add a display meter in its config. --=20 Gr=C3=BC=C3=9Fe | Greetings | Salut | Qapla=E2=80=99 Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
