I have a weird problem with my laptop and external HDD or usb sticks. I cannot copy files from my laptop (with SSD formated in ext4) to my external HDD (formated also in ext4). I have an input/outpur error. The transfert starts but at very very slow rate and then I have the error. I tried different usb ports. The problem is also present with usb sticks formated in fat32. I cannot write to my SSD from any usb source.
I can do the opposite, i.e. transfert files from my laptop to my external HDD (or other usb connected devices) with no problem. Maybe related: on the same laptop, I have another problem when I download files from my local network using WiFi. The transfert is extremely slow and the rate change constantly. If I connect my laptop through ethernet, I don't have any issue. I suspected some problem with my SSD but the ethernet transfer is very fast and constant. Do you have any idea about the problem(s)?
