Samsung Memorie Duo Plus has write speeds of up to 1.5 MB/s on Ubuntu 20.04 whereas on Windows 10 they easily go above 10 MB/s. It is a USB type C flash drive. My laptop specs:

I upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS on my desktop on 11-12-2021.
I compiled con.c on the new gcc version 9.3.0-17 compiler and it gave me warnings on
using sprintf(). I converted all the sprintf()'s warnings to snprintf()'s and got a clean compile.
I copied the folder that contained con.c and 8 other .c files and their .o files to an external
USB drive. It copied all but the con ...

I have a drive that I cannot access anymore. I have it on LUKS and at first it worked properly, but now it's just stuck on mounting the EXT4 part of the drive.
I tried using gparted and mkusb but both just hangs and gets stuck too.
Unmounting does not work too, it just hangs until I manually unplug the drive.
So on my USB stick I had a problem to where I could not write to it. I could copy files from it, however I could not change anything on it. This is not my main question but part of the issue I was having. A post I read about this earlier allowed the person to write to the drive with root permissions. However, I could not even do that. In order to fix this I had to copy all the files off the USB dri ...
I would like to use two swap files, if possible: one on the SSD and one on an USB pendrive. I hope this way I can get an enhanced, two combined channel throughput.
Summary
I inserted an old internal SSD (which should have been in good health / not corrupted) into a USB enclosure, but I can't get any data from it.
Background
My old Kubuntu laptop with an encrypted (LUKS) SSD (Samsung MZ-VLV5120 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe 2280) stopped working. I took it into a shop, and they figured that some power-related component was destroyed. They replaced it, and the laptop cam ...
I connected an external (1TB) hard disk drive to my computer. It is automatically mounted on /media/$USER/Seagate Backup Plus Drive. However this drive has two partitions: an NTFS partition, and an EXT3 partition. Strangely, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS only mounted the NTFS partition on /dev/sdc1, but it did mount the second Linux partition on /dev/sdc2. I tried to mount /dev/sdc2 by explicitly using the
my usb detected by pc but pc doesn't show it.
other usb work well but this one no.
this usb works but I do not know what I did wrong that the pc did not show it anymore.(I was trying to bootable it to install Windows)
the result of lsblk for usb is (7.2G):
I think this link also had a problem with me, but I can't edit mount option.
i tried to format usb but it doesn't allow:
Every USB Flash drive i use does not give me permissions to save anything to the USB flash drive. I have to format the USB Flash drive everytime I want to save to it. I do not know why the permissions of the USB flash drive change to root permissions after I use it.
For every USB Flash drive I use with Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, I can not save anything to the flash drive because it says that I do not ha ...
i plugged the device in my Ubuntu 20.04 system and it was found but I could not open it in the "files" application (used to be called nautilus)
strangely this is the first device that I could plug into a windows system and it just works but on my Linux system it does not... (typically i have the opposite experience )
So the device is a "CammPro I826"
When I run lsusb it is listed as "GoPro 9FF2 [Digital ...
I tried several USB Flash drives and ubuntu-18.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso, ubuntu-mate-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso and ubuntu-21.04-desktop-amd64.iso with the same result - boot is very slow and live session ends with a full screen wallpaper with no UI components. Mouse right-click opens a popup menu, so I can get to the terminal or Nautilus.

Can I use a bootable pen drive to store data other than Linux OS? I have this pen drive
I've installed a PCIe card to get USB 3 support, and have connected a 16TB SATA disk, which I've formatted in XFS. Initially I had very good read/write performance, but after a couple hours the performance has slowed down tremendously. Looking at atop I see that the disk is 100% busy with nonstop writes and has a latency of 6ms.
Running iotop, the only thing writing to this disk seems to be a kwo ...
I have some external USB drives that 1 ubuntu install can see, mount, write to, etc. and 1 ubuntu install cannot.
The one that cannot does not show the drive with lsusb, nor in any /dev/sd* entry. Of course it doesn't auto-mount.
Neither disks nor gparted can see it either. The only indication that it's even there is when I plug it into any USB port on the machine, the LED lights up. Note that ...
This seems to be a newbie question but I can't seem to find any specific answers. I am (finally) getting rid of my Windows 7 machine but need to copy all the data files off it to my Ubuntu. I transferred all the files onto a 2TB USB external HD. However, only some of the files are copying, I think because the permissions are not correctly set on those files. The files are tif, jpg, and pdf and I can ope ...
We have a Ubuntu server with several HDD partitions that are then served to Windows machines using Samba. We just added a new drive and we have a big problem with it.
On day 1, I was able to write ~2TB of data without any problem. Now, when requesting files, the transfer starts normally then freeze, seemingly at random, after ~5sec. Stopping the transfer and restarting it makes it able to star ...
I am new to the linux theme, practically I have not been using debian in the beginning but my computer was slow because it is old so I switched to lubuntu, what I liked but now I wanted to go to another more recent version Due to updates, my version is 18 and I wanted to go to 21, well the issue is that I accidentally was in the file manager and I right-clicked and touched unmount or another option ...
I'm not as knowledgeable as I'd like to be, and on top of that i now switched to ubunutu to get some wanky formatting results. Anyway, i have a 64 gb usb stick, that i did a fat32 format on first, to move some files from windows to ubuntu. After that i formatted it again, this time though i added a password on it (thought it a cool idea:), and i checked the box to erase previous format. Once the formatt ...

Something changed recently in my ubuntu 20.04 desktop regarding how it mounts removeable media (like USB storage drives).
Previously such devices would appear under location /media/$USER/....
But now that directory is empty when usb storage devices are attached.
The devices still appear in the launcher and operate OK from the GUI for nonroot users.
But I need to be able to reference them from command-l ...
I am using an old Dell laptop with Windows 8.1, and I have a USB boot drive with Ubuntu ready to go. I tried to change my BIOS boot settings to use the USB, but I cannot seem to get it to work. For some reason the BIOS is trying to use a specific file from the USB, and won't use the entire drive. It is an empty drive aside from the Ubuntu ISO files. How do I add the USB as a boot option?
Recently my Ubuntu software isn't working great so I tried to reinstall Ubuntu and I put the Ubuntu iso on USB and went to download it, but the reinstall Ubuntu option isn't available to choose. What is causing the problem, and how to fix it?

I have a microSD (8 GB) that I use for transferring gcode files from my computer to my Ender 3 3D printer. Yesterday, I found I couldn't mount this device (via an unpowered USB hub).
The SD card still reads when directly mounted in the micro-SD socket on the Ender 3, and the card and mini-reader combination mounted and read on my partners Mac (a 2015 iMac with current OS), so I presume this isn' ...
This is Ubuntu 21.04 on a System76 Ratel Pro. Today, I took a software update that involved kernel modules (and required adm password). When I tried to restart as instructed, the restart hung until I unplugged my USB backup drive, at which point the system came up immediately. Now when I plug the drive into (any) USB socket, it is not detected (does not show up on the desktop nor in /media/david). When ...
Running Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS on arm architecture (Odroid-N2+)
I have connected a USB harddisk (/dev/sda) to my computer with a 4TB ext4 partition (/dev/sa1) and have edited /etc/fstab to have /dev/sda1 mounted at startup to let's say /media/user/placeA. This works, but /dev/sda1 is also mounted to /media/usb0 (there is nothing for this in /etc/fstab) which I don't need and don't want.
There is a second USB ...
I'm stuck mounting an SSD, which is pre-formatted as ext4, via SATA to USB cable. However it gives the error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
This problem does not happen when plugging the SSD directly to the drive bay of the laptop. The probl ...
