Hey y'all.

I'm curious if you guys notice a huge disparity in transfer speed for an NTFS-formatted vs ext3-formatted USB 3.0 HDD on the AC68 or AC66, particularly in favor of NTFS. I ask this because as a linux-savvy person, I tend to favor using a real made-for-linux file system, and not a proprietary or open-source driver for a closed-source file system. Is there a technical explanation for why I would get double the transfer speeds when I use NTFS as opposed to ext3, which seems slow? Thanks

Nick
