Catalina (10.15.1 (19B88)) USB drive terribly slow and unstable
I recently upgraded to Catalina on both my Macbook Pro 2014, and Macbook 12'.
Photos export to USB flash drive doesn't seem to work securely.
- It's extremely slow. Export (drag and drop) iphone 7 .heic .mov, .jpg files 200s takes more than 30mins to complete. I've tried multiple flash drives, including reformatting into exFAT. All USB drives I tested works 100% OK on Linux, Windows, same machine in Mojave. I have tried rebooting system.
- Photos export to local drive seems normal but copy is then same slow.
- Sometimes, after Photos export, files don't show up in the Finder. Although folder properties shows the right number of files in there, but file list pane is empty. I have to replug to see files. (But exFAT, and FAT)
- I don't have hard evidence. But I have a feeling there are missing photos in my libraries, I will have to use time machine to search.
Please test and fix in future releases, otherwise I have to roll back to mojave.
Regards,
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.13
