I actually just resorted to using Thunar (because its very lightweight and I
don't mind having it installed just for this exact use case) to manage files
when an root-only partitions are involved, like certain external devices that
have partitions only writeable by root. In Thunar the same file transfer fully
reaches the max speed that the hardware allows, for example 500 MB/s or more
when dealing with NVMe SSDs , while the same exact transfer between the same
exact devices in Dolphin drops to 1 or 2 MB/s which is just absolutely insane
and unusable.

This use case reported here is more common than people probably think. In the
retro emulation devices world, we usually have to deal with root only
partitions on these external devices/sd cards, and it's very stressful to see
GNOME and other DEs just deal with it no problem and KDE having a lot of
difficulties with it and casual users don't really know or understand why.

Finally, I should mention that this only happens when WRITING TO a root only
partition (maybe root folders too? didn't test). When using dolphin to copy
(read) FROM that root partition/folder to a user partition, the copy is
extremely fast as it should - and this happens because when reading only, we
don't need to open dolphin in admin mode, so this bug doesn't happen.
