Something is deffo going wonky - the SAMBA copy went the same way and I 
also noticed the PC became dog-slow.
The USB is also NTFS formatted for compatibility, which might not be 
helping matters.

This is chugged along quite happily at around 26MB/s, which is pretty 
much what I would expect.

Curiously, using Dolphin to do the copy into my home folder ran at 
9MiB/s, but an scp into home was at 26MB/s.  Which I find odd as I would 
have expected a straight SAMBA copy to be faster than scp.

Be interesting to see what happens when I copy from home to the USB.
