  1. This is the exact reason to why I canceled the order 4 hours after I placed it and went with a ROCK64 instead I have to say thank you because you are the main reason to why canceled the order, your posts here and on the Banana PI forums guided me in not wasting money. IMO a really bad idea. Those proprietary RAID boxes are just a huge single point of failure and I would never rely on such things (but I do storage for a living and only deal with RAID any more when it failed so I'm a bit biased here). May I ask what you would suggest? I haven't ordered the raid box just yet due to money issues, just going with a single enclosure USB disk and accepting the speed and redundancy loss. And yet again man, thank you very very much for your posts. I've been here for a few hours and I've managed to get so much information for your work. Best regards Stefan
  2. Hey guys. I'm totally new to this, used to fiddle with the PI when it came out but not any real serious projects. Just recently I've gotten annoyed on how I play back media and where I have my storage solution so I figured it was time for an upgrade. I've been reading this thread a lot, much respect goes to tkaiser for making such an amount of info available to us newbies. I actually ordered the Banana PI M3 until I read the wikis and this post which lead me to believe that the BPI M3 would make for a fantastically shitty NAS. I had actually ordered it but canceled the order before it was shipped. From those numbers I interpret that the Clearfog over SATA would be one of the ultimate for a somewhat cheap and good NAS solution, it might how ever be a bit better with a little bit more horse power if I want to use it as more than a NAS. This lead me to check out the ROCK64, which I ultimately bought. I figured that I would use it as a NAS backed by a USB3 Raid5 enclosure and use it for misc other stuff (FTP, backup, etc), but mainly as a NAS and Plex server. So my question is, can I expect to saturate 1-2 users over my gigabit network with that setup and will it work well for my use case? From the numbers that I saw (the more detailed ones here) on the Clearfog I'm expecting to get around 120mb/s write and ~250mb/s read on my setup, would that be in the ballpark of what I can expect? Anything else I need to keep in mind? The ROCK64 will not be running a DE. Sorry if my questions are ignorant somehow. Best regards Stefan
