    Good afternoon,

    I am seeing about double the upload speed when uploading data on to an ext4 SD card when I use the VOXL 2 Ethernet and USB Hub Add-on versus the USB3 UART Add-On, with the exact same SD card and SD card reader. Both are over USB 3.0 JST.

    I am wondering what could cause this difference? I looked at the diagram for the Ethernet and USB Hub Add-on and I see that it goes through the legacy connector, yet it has double the upload speed on average when compared to the USB3 UART Add-On.

    The specific SD card I am using

    Note: I am using a UHS-I SD card reader, but it supports USB-3.0

    Here is my data:

    I also tested with exfat rather than ext4 using the exfat-fuse package (Note: This is significantly slower than ext4, likely due to the fact that exfat-fuse is not a kernel-level package and thus, that slows it down).
    The difference was not as substantial.

      I also tested with exfat rather than ext4 using the exfat-fuse package (Note: This is significantly slower than ext4, likely due to the fact that exfat-fuse is not a kernel-level package and thus, that slows it down).
      The difference was not as substantial.

      @John-Nomikos Edit: I swapped SD card readers (the original was UHS-I, this one is now UHS-II) and now am seeing 150-200 MB/s for both hats. Speed difference was likely caused by the card reader and not the voxl2. Still weird that there was a speed difference, but oh well
