It is even amplified when there is an additional Veracrypt layer.ДЄs a conclusion, the best option if we want the encrypted disk to be readable on Windows too, and to be able to use it via Samba, is to use a Veracrypt partition, containing a NTFS partition. This seems to be a bug when using fuse-exfat + samba + 1 GB+ file tranfer from Windows, even without using VeraCrypt. !!: unresponsive Windows Explorer at the beginning of the transfer of 2.3 GB file, for about ~ 30 seconds, and then it begins but quite slow. + Veracrypt container dd:29 MB/s samba:!!

Results host в†“ FS inside container в†’ exFAT NTFS were not a bottleneck)ДЄs I want the disk containing encrypted data to be also openable on Windows (let's say my wife needs it), without Linux command-line commands, I tested only exFAT and NTFS. The speed of transfer with Samba when sending a 2.3 GB file from a Windows computer to the RPi encrypted partition/container (again I checked that networking, destination computer's disk, etc. (even if constant zero bytes, AES algorithm has to re-encrypt each block, in order for the repetition not be identifiable, see crypto.SE for questions about this, it's common)

The RAW write speed on an encrypted partition dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/b/1000mb bs=1M count=1000 iflag=fullblock prefix st10 fill 443639 MenuLifewireTech for Humans Best Products Audio Camera Video Car Audio Accessories Computers Laptops Computer Accessories Game Consoles Gifts Networking Phones Smart Home Software Tablets Toys Games TVs Wearables News Phones Internet Security Computers. The following results are to be taken in relative value to compare the FS, not in absolute value. I used an external USB3 HDD, tested to be able to both read and write from the RPi4 faster than 70 MB/s for sequential 1 GB file, when using a normal (unencrypted) ext4 partition (just to be sure the disk itself is not the weakest element in the chain). I've run a big number of tests today on a RaspberryPi4 2GB (with official PSU, and checked that no throttling happened standard RaspiOS).
