I just gave this a try with SFS/2 and have had no problem moving either large or many small files.
It is set for SFS02, 1024 Blocksize, 600 Buffers. It is a PATA drive on a USB adaptor.
I think you'll find it is documented that both SFS(2) and JXFS MUST use a blocksize of 512, anything else has undefined behaviour.

I usually use SFS00 (properly), but for this experiment everything is working just fine. I have also tried FAT32,
FAT12, and FFS with various blocksize and buffers. Some faster/better than others. Some........OOPS!

Then perhaps MediaToolbox should default to 512 not 1024?

Nope, it is written in pure C, so any knowledgable OS4 dev should be able to adapt it to OS4.
