[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 394110, member: 16173"] Been reading that a Pi is maybe not the ideal basis for a NAS something to do with the USB port(s) being "shared" with the ethernet. BUT this was from a piece written in 2012: [URL="https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3313"]https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3313[/URL] Guessing this was an earlier Pi than I have here, the one I have is the B+ with 4 USB ports. So is there any issue with this model "sharing" with the ethernet? I've then come across this about using a USB Gigabit adapter: [URL="http://www.midwesternmac.com/blogs/jeff-geerling/getting-gigabit-networking"]http://www.midwesternmac.com/blogs/jeff-geerling/getting-gigabit-networking[/URL] A bit lost tbh as to what it all means. Would using a USB ethernet adapter improve this throughput they're on about, any thoughts? Cheers [/QUOTE]
