Dumb move of the day

I have an external USB nvme 2TB drive and for got to format it and almost filled.

exfat is not a good idea unless you use Mac as well. I don't.

Now I have to start over. Hopefully it is faster.

note that many if not most ssd type storage is only fast for a tiny amount of data at a time.  after the "cache" (different terms, same idea) is full then everything slows way down.  nearly none are as fast as they claim to be for any kind of sustained write operation.
