Between EXT4 and XFS which file system is better when an application uses multiple threads to read/write large amount of small files on a SSD. From what I read

In general, Ext3 or Ext4 is better if an application uses a single read/write thread and small files, while XFS shines when an application uses multiple read/write threads and bigger files

Both EXT4 and XFS are very fast in small file handling. EXT4 is faster for single thread operations, while XFS scales better when using multiple threads/cores.

You can read more in RedHat documentation.
