Is this normal (being a foreign file system drive and all that) ?
This is what i’m getting under Windows 10 USB 3.0 (on the same drive ofc)
Thank you
I went and formatted the drive to ext4 just for the test and got this 
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ DietPi-Benchmark ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

Which is still bad, so it might be due to a processor limitation on this unit or something.
Will test other file systems and post bellow.
P.S. That’s with Btrfs

I guess you are using a USB->HDD adapter?
is it actually connecting at usb 3.0 speeds? Some of these chipsets don’t connect at full speeds
Also found this…might help
What device do you use?
This is a 2.5’ USB HDD.
My Passport from WD (WDBPKJ0040BBK-WESN) to be precise.
The device is IGEL M340C and the CPU is kinda weak, but so far i had zero performance problems with it.
I’m using the 1 x USB 3.0 back port for the HDD.
