I am only getting 10MB/s or 80 mbps write speed is there any way to improve it? I would be happy it it was around 20 MB/s
- What version of OpenWrt?
- How is the drive connected?
Also, was a duplicate post: Help me mount my hdd
I am on the latest 24.10
And the hdd is connected via usb
I am using a sata to usb adapter and hdd power requirements are 5V 0.45A
I am using ext4 filesystem
I have used it on my mobile and it can write at 38 MB/s
No there was mounting issues first then after reformatting it that issue was fixed but now i have speed issues
Try running top or htop via ssh on the router while you max out the writes.
And if you do
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sda1/test1.img bs=1G count=1 oflag=dsync

What would i do with this?
Run it via ssh, post the output.
Useful parts missing, please run command from a normal pc with full screen and keyboard.
I don't have a pc ;-;
Skip the oflag param, I'm guessing it's not enabled in the BusyBox dd.
Busybox' dd doesn't support oflag=dsync.
Neither does it show any details about used time and data speed.
So umm which command should i run? If busybox dd doesn't support oflag=dsync
Ok, then OP should install full dd, whatever the name of the package is 
It only has an USB 2.0 port so perhaps not much more you can expect?

I mean still usb port max limit is 480 mbps
I don't even get 180 properly
Then run the dd write test, to figure out where the bottleneck is..
