You've never compared NTFS on Windows to ext3 on Linux. Windows file
access is ridiculously slow.

At least it doesn't kill hard drives...

Are you saying ext3 does? Where did you hear that, I haven't?

The problem appears to be the default values set by the hard drive makers..
Voleware ignores the default values and just runs its own, however it
seems that Ubuntu made the grave mistake of doing what the hard drive
manufacturers told them.

So the disks were at fault, and this is suddenly a "problem" of linux?

It wasn't just Ubuntu. All versions of Windows had no problems and the
drives complied with the specifications.
