which on both cases contain important data.Īnother reason these devices actually in need of a serious backup solution is that most of them don't have a dedicated flash chip for storing data and they usually boot from SD cards, Which is terrible since there is no wear leveling and due to that they get screwed. So their main job is usually either gathering data for later analyze or managing some devices based on sensor data and microcontrollers. like as a micro server, servers that run only certain not so heavy services, may it be, for information gathering from sensors and acting as simple storage nodes, or become servers for automation in an Infrastructure. There are lots of use-cases for these embedded devices. In the 2nd part, I will try to put it all together and make it look like more than just a bunch of wires connected to a board.I think there is an underestimation on what these little devices can do.

Once again, big thanks to for sponsoring this project.

If you have any questions feel free to leave it in this Reddit thread. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to repurpose the original NASpi enclosure.

I will provide the full material list in the next part, as some of the items used will be picked especially for the box used to keep the drive. The OrangePi 3 NAS costs about 10$ more than the RaspberrPi counterpart. It will be interesting to test the SSDs at some point. Looks like I’m limited now by the HDD’s read/write speed.

Note that I’m still running mechanical HDDs. It’s time to up the game to see if the USB3.0 will increase the speed. The speeds were fairly consistent and I noted the following values READ In this scenario, I sent the file to and from the NAS drive to HDD connected via USB2.0 SATA enclosures used in my original Raspberry Pi NAS.

I’m using Samba file sharing via Ubuntu Server edition running on OrangePi 3 over the 1Gbps Ethernet (Cat6) to my Windows 10 based PC with a Gigabit connection. Benching with iperf didn’t get me far last time, I’m not making the same mistake again. I’m not interested in anything other than real life performance, so I will play with that 4.20GB file I created earlier. Lastly, I’m not going to use synthetic benchmarks. I’m using the same drives (2.5″ mechanical HDD) for the sake of the consistency, but I will add a separate benchmark for an SSD once I have one I can spare. The OrangePi 3 comes with USB3.0 but if I don’t get any speed boost thanks to the improved bus, there is no need to splash out. To see where I’m going to hit the bottleneck, I’m going to test both USB3.0 and USB2.0 SATA connectors. Everything else at my home is done to the same standard so it seemed like a perfect match.

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.

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.
