I have a second hard drive that I've installed on my system, and copying files from the USB to the hard drive is extremely slow (about 70kB/sec).

Here is my /etc/fstab entry:

/dev/sdb1 /media/Storage ntfs uid=rhys,gid=users,auto,user,exec,rw,sync 0 0

Am I doing something wrong here?

Seems as though switching the flag from sync to async fixes the issue.

/dev/sdb1 /media/Storage ntfs uid=rhys,gid=users,auto,user,exec,rw,async 0 0
