I use PFS and get about 3.2 megabytes/sec on an HD connected to the standard IDE port.

I can back up my HD to an SD card in about 50 mins when the same capacity under FFS would be left to run overnight.

The 3.2 feature set on the Hyperion website describes improvements to FFS to make it faster, so that seems to be the default file system.

However, if you did an upgrade or similar on an existing disk without using HDToolbox to change the filesystem in place, then your 3.2 installation will have just used whatever FS was on the drive.

Thomas described problems with SFS, not PFS. Which did you have problems with?

My HDD started to fail with a physical issue last year. I was able to use the PFS recovery tools to recover it long enough to back it up.
