I have downloaded 50 MB worth of files and wanted to move them two directories deeper than where they were located. So I just, y’know, drag-n-dropped them in Finder. A window appeared, saying “Preparing moving” (?), and the files started to move one by one.

The whole process took FIVE MINUTES.

Why does a 50 MB move between two directories on the same NVME drive take five minutes

I checked the Activity Monitor during this, and it didn't show anything writing to disk, really. Moving any other file anywhere else is instant :blobcatgooglyshrug:
