It is slow. I mean *REALLY* slow, it's basically unusable. Remember I'm trying to fill and update a 1 TB disk here with video files that are typically several GB in size. The disk will have reached the end of its warranty before the data transfer is completed. I have specifically bought an external enclosure that also has eSATA (beside USB2) so I have the full head-to-platter bandwidth of the disk. But the FUSE NTFS driver is not much faster than USB1 (this is not the fault of FUSE, in fact the ntfscp tool from the sysutils/ntfsprogs port is just as slow).
