Hi! Thanks for the answers; let’s have some data.
First, about USB:

and also

After (auto) mounting the HP USB drive, I get:
> lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB-2.0 4-Port HUB
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1e4e:0100
Bus 001 Device 060: ID 04f3:0232 Elan Microelectronics Corp.
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 046d:c317 Logitech, Inc. Wave Corded Keyboard
**Bus 001 Device 064: ID 03f0:5307 Hewlett-Packard**
so I’m guessing it’s OK; I don’t have USB3 devices, but the disk is plugged as USB2.
As to the auto-mounting features, I don’t see anything strange:
> mount
...
*...snipped plenty of other lines...*
...
/dev/sdc1 on /media/HPV165W type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)
Then, I copied a 6.4GB file to the disk, which had almost 9GB free, and had been recently re-built with mkfs.ntfs.
> time cp $HOME/Television/_TO_SEE_/mybigfile.mkv /media/HPV165W/
real 177m15.353s
user 0m0.252s
sys 0m26.757s
fkereki@fkereki-desktop:~> dir /media/HPV165W/*mkv
-rw------- 1 fkereki users 6800876294 May 19 16:40 /media/HPV165W/mybigfile.mkv
As you see, it’s just short of 3 hours for a bit over 6GB… isn’t something wrong there?
