RASPBERRY PI SAMBA SPEEDS UPGRADE

I decided to go for something that is impressive on paper but does not break the bank. EaseUS Todo Backup Home ( 50% OFF Home version).EaseUS Todo Backup Free 11.5 ( Free Trial).Since they sponsor this build, they are also providing a nice incentive to use their backup software: Saved money can be spent on backup software after all. Seems like a great match for a NAS based project, so we partnered up to see how fast you can go on a budget. They specialize in backup and recovery options for computers (Windows/Mac) and mobile devices (Android). What if you want to go faster, not more expensive? How fast can you go on a budget?Ī couple of weeks ago reached out to me asking for cooperation.

It looks like Raspberry PI 3B+ NAS drive is actually worth considering! I no longer have to limit the interface programmatically.

RASPBERRY PI SAMBA SPEEDS UPGRADE

It’s not the theoretical 300Mbps I have seen during the iperf tests, but I’m sending much bigger files that won’t get offloaded to RAM.įinally, the upgrade paid off, especially that the transfer speed over the improved interface is consistent. That’s a serious increase! It looks like finally, the NAS can take advantage of the increased bus speed of the Raspberry Pi 3B+. How fast Raspberry Pi NAS is right now? It almost doubles the speeds from before! Recently, I discovered that the latest change to Linux and kernel and probably the network and USB stack improved the ethernet performance and speed. I started to look around for the alternative boards. I wanted to improve the NAS speeds to handle the video files (until now, NAS has been hosting all pictures for NotEnoughTech work) so going 1Gbps was pretty much a must. Disappointed with the results I accepted the failure and moved to other projects.
