I saw you can switch from “Quick removal” to Better performance, but honestly, that feels like a band-aid, not a real fix. I really want to know why it's performing this terribly in the first place.

First off, if you actually want any semblance of Better performance, you've gotta switch it over—it enables caching and all that good stuff.

Second, if you're trying to move a massive pile of tiny little files, those speeds are totally normal.

Third, let's be real: USB isn't exactly optimized for heavy lifting with drives. Expecting top-tier speeds is a bit of a stretch.

What else can you try? Use something with a multithreaded copy routine—like Robocopy or whatever. The standard Windows copy tool is honestly pretty dumb and outdated. You could also try moving larger individual files instead of thousands of small ones, or defragment the source Hard Drive if it's looking messy.

I’m talking about multitasking, designing, and dealing with real-world problems—people who don't exactly have spare brainpower to obsess over some niche American keyboard layout. I definitely don't. And we finally found the fix: just stick to a standardized international layout. It’s funny how people act like this is some grand achievement. Expecting everyone to sit around overthinking this is just pure stupidity, like trying to reinvent the wheel or come up with some "innovative" nonsense that only a few local busybodies would care about. Honestly, with a population as small as ours, we wouldn't even need our own language; sticking to English would be perfectly fine.

Anyone who actually uses a computer for anything serious should know that the American keyboard layout has been the standard for decades and has absolutely nothing to do with whatever weird regional variations you're thinking of.

electricorca7 said:Exactly—he’s got this PCM setup that people claim is totally against the rules and supposedly violates some specific law!

Man, if only he actually knew the specifics, like "under this law, section this, subsection that"!

I'm honestly holding out hope that this law actually exists!

Way too much.
