how do you get faster write speeds to SSD only getting 24mb/s

@comet424 said in how do you get faster write speeds to SSD only getting 24mb/s:
and then i googleed.. and it said Linux 5 and up has ntfs full support doesnt retropie use Linux 5+?
Can you please provide a source link ? Not sure what Linux 5 is suppose to mean.
so how can i format it then in retropie to get the 2TB to see Fat? or would be better ExFat? as i was able to mount that in Unraid ExFat for 2tb
You can format it on a PC with ExFat or from Linux with the command line
mkfs.exfatcommand.sudo apt -y install exfat-utils sudo mkfs.exfat /dev/sda1 Warning - formatting will erase all existing data on the disk !

wont let me post correctly
https://www.theregister.com/2021/10/13/how_ntfs_finally_made_it/#:~:text=Starting with the Linux 5.15,FAT)%20file%20system%20across%20Windows.here it says as if linux 5.5 version ntfs fully supported
but maybe fully supported and getting retropie to access at full speed 2 different thingsStarting with the Linux 5.15 kernel, NTFS is finally being fully supported in Linux. This journey hasn't been easy. Microsoft introduced NTFS, a proprietary – naturally – journaling file system in Windows NT 3.1 in 1993. From there, it replaced 1977's File Allocation Table (FAT) file system across Windows.Linux creator Linus Torvalds has agreed to include Paragon Software's NTFS3 kernel driver, giving the Linux kernel 5.15 release improved support for Microsoft's NTFS file system. But he also had some process and security lessons to offer developers about how to code submissions to the kernel should be made.i did see in another link
to use ntfs-3gfor for the fstab
would that fix things? adding -3g -
i guess retropie doesnt fully support ntfs
above says Linux 5.15 kernal is fully supported
but when i logged into retropie
it only runs 5.10.63 so its not fully supported yet.. i guess once retropie upgrades to 5.15 maybe then ntfs gets the fully speeds
i formated to exfat but it didnt take

[...]You've run the correct command, but your next
dfcommands don't show that the newly formatted partition is mounted.so i dont have that hdparm program not sure how to install it
You can install it with
sudo apt install hdparm.i did get it to format and mount using sudo mkfs.fat
extfat just wouldnt work now is this fat or fat32?It's neither,
exfatis another type of filesystem, just likefatorvfat(which is Linux name for FAT32).I'm not really sure how you're testing, your
dfcommands don't show the/dev/sda1partition being mounted so you may actually be testing just the sdcard.is it maybe retropie cant hand 2TB at the full usb 3.0 speeds? as i didnt have issue with the same brand SSD just at a 250 and 500mbs but now i jumped to a 2TB i get these extreme slow speeds.
It can handle it fine, that's not the issue here - is the filesystem used. Use
exfatinstead ofntfsand you should get better performance. -

Did you try to use the
fstabline that you previously posted ?/dev/sda1 /home/pi/RetroPie exfat nofail,user,uid=pi,gid=pi 0 2When you test using
dd, make sure you're using an output file that's on the external disc:dd if=/dev/urandom of=/home/pi/RetroPie/test.file bs=1M count=1024 -
for the fstab i tried "exfat" "exfat4" "extfat" "ext4"
none of them mounted.. unless i change the fstab uuid
and set the usbmount to Enabled in the menu
then sometimes it mountedso the results for the tests are

My example was without the UUID, just using the partition inode directly. If you re-format the drive, it's label may change, so the UUID may not match.
EDIT: add the entry to
/etc/fstab, then try runningmount -a -t exfatand if the drive is mounted (
mount -t exfat). -
ok so not sure what to change in my fstab
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 PARTUUID=e22bcd10-01 /boot vfat defaults 0 2 PARTUUID=e22bcd10-02 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1 # a swapfile is not a swap partition, no line here # use dphys-swapfile swap[on|off] for that UUID=3FDD-79EC /home/pi/RetroPie vfat nofail,user,uid=pi,gid=pi 0 2 is my current Fat32 for the 2TB drive
everytime i format it changes the UUID so then i re change it in the fstaband what i was meaning is /home/pi/RetroPie vfat
i changed the vfat to "ext4" "exfat" "exfat4"
when i had it formated as exFat or whatever the proper wording is for itto see if it would mount.. it would sometimes mount as /media/usb0
so wehre in the fstab do i add /etc/fstab
and i guess reformat the drive to exfat right?
and i did try where vfat is when i had "ntfs" i tried changing it to "ntfs-3g" but that didnt help either as i read that in a different retropie article someone said worked but didnt work for me
when i had it as ntfs -
Sorry, but it's getting difficult to follow your replies without any phrasing or punctuation. Can you make an effort and organize your replies better ? I understand English may not be your native language, but try to make an effort and put some structure into it.
-
First, make sure you format your drive as
exfat, use themkfs.exfatcommand I've mentioned. Usecfdisk /dev/sdaorfdisk -l /dev/sdato confirm the drive is properly formatted. -
2nd, modify
/etc/fstaband replace the last line with the entry I mentioned a couple of replies ago:
/dev/sda1 /home/pi/RetroPie exfat nofail,user,uid=pi,gid=pi 0 2- 3rd, try the mount commands from my previous reply to make sure that you've correctly modified
/etc/fstaband mounting works. If none of the commands fail, then you can disable theusbmountservice and reboot to see if the external disc is mounted correctly (to/home/pi/RetroPie).

@mitu
sorry try my best as i have dislexia and its sounds clear to mewhat i was say
in fstab file
vfat line i changed it to "ext4" "exfat" "exfat4" for Exfat
non of these settings "mounted" the drive tp /home/pi/RetroPie
only to /media/usb0 and you had to have the Auto USBmount service Enabled in the Menu.. Disabled wouldnt mountwhen it was ntfs i treid "ntfs" and "ntfs-3g"
and i was sayin since its in Fat32 i guess i have to reformat it
and i said i had to change the UUID in the Fstab every single time when i formated the drive

OK, so the disc is not formated as
exfatand mounted via the native kernel support, withoutfuse. This should take out the extra CPU consumed by usingfuseandntfs.If you're copying just a large file over the network, do you get the same - low - speed ? Is this over a wired or wireless conenction ?
I know the NesPi case - the older versions ? - had an issue with the SATA controller used in the case (see this topic), it might be worth checking if the case you're using falls has the SATA controller that is problematic.

i thought the disk got formated as exfat/dev/sda1 exfat 1.9T 2.2M 1.9T 1% /home/pi/RetroPieso what do you mean exactly by "OK, so the disc is not formated as exfat and mounted via the native kernel support, without fuse. This should take out the extra CPU consumed by using fuse and ntfs."
explain it for someone that doesnt know the fuse and the native kernel support or the extra cpu consummed etc
network is cabled 1gb connection..
its copying any file.. that i getting only 2-10mbs the dd command shows 18mb/s is that saying its only read writting? large or small just doesnt matter ):im using the nespi 4 from my how to guide i made
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/28848/guide-how-to-setup-nespi-4?_=1646095106362so i dont know if it falls under that i thought i solved the slow problem speeds with my article about mounting the sata controller as i think i read that article and thats how i made my article from it

so i dont know if it falls under that i thought i solved the slow problem speeds with my article about mounting the sata controller as i think i read that article and thats how i made my article from it
Did you add the quirks configuration to
/boot/cmdline.txt? Can you try without it ? -
@mitu
yes and noi actually still running the same nintendo nesp case you see in the article i made.. all i did for myself was upgrade from 250gb to a 2tb and i use the 250gb in a new system for a friend.. and speeds were fine for it..
so i didnt need to change the cmdline as i made thes changes back in 2020 .. but ill try removing the part in the cmdline to see if it works for a 2tb i had to add it for the 250 and 500gb

i gonna try to copy over some couple gig files
so copying just random files i get 3-5mbs
random files of 159gb i jsut sliding over is going to take 8hoursso removing the cmdline info i added didnt help ):
but its a limit with this usb hot swap and 2TB maybe its only good for 1TB and less?
i dont have a smaller SSD anymore to test it ):
