It's also worth noting: on my setup with a spinning rust laptop drive
hooked via USB 3 to my RPi, the drive doesn't spin continuously
(apparently). So on occasional use, I wait a couple of seconds for the
drive to spin up before it can transfer at full speed. It's possible an
SSD would solve this, but I had the laptop drive around already.
