Browsing / Navigating files on USB-drive unusable slow and laggy

I'm getting more and more trouble navigating and selecting folders/files on my Prusa XL usb-drive.

I have multiple project folders on the USB drive. And navigating the USB-drive has become unbearable problematic.

The selecting/scrolling often freezes for 5 seconds, but it does seem to still record and que part of your input. Causing it to execute the queued inputs after an un-freez, and thus directly freezing it back up. As user I often have to wait 10 seconds before scrolling an other 5 ticks or so... to at least not scroll to bottom or top of the list.

Then selecting... You often select something and then press enter... only to see it unfreeze, quickly complete queued selection steps, causing it to select something different then you wanted to  and then press enter on the wrong selection!!!

This is so infuriating XD
The struggle to just browse and select the right folder/files.. And if you fail, ya can do it all over again!

Anyone found a solution to this, or is there a bug report that I can vote on?

Repeated replacement of files on a fairly full drives leads to fragmentation, USB management systems compound this with use-balancing the sectors to extend working life.  It's always best to keep USB's with frequently changed content below half full.  If you want to build up a stock of standard parts in one USB copy the files elsewhere, low level reformat the drive and copy them back when they will be unfragmented.

Cheerio,
