Sure but you have a mobile phone in the mix here, right?  You're relying
on some software to talk to the phone.  That's the driver.  So that's one
possibility.  And the one that seemed most likely to me if it's affecting
performance even when you're not accessing the drive with the phone.

How do things work when you do like operations using just plain Windows
utilities?
