I'm trying to use the BBB as a (very) lightweight NAS. Unfortunately, I'm a bit disappointed with the transfer speed I can achieve over the USB port. I've now tried different kernels such as Robert C Nelsons 3.8.13-bone28 and 3.12.0-rc5-bone6, different USB storage devices (such as a USB 2.0 flash drive and a USB 3.0 hard disk), and tried both directly attaching the flash drive to the BBB as well as using a powered USB hub. The HD of course only works on the hub. The BBB is running on a 5V external power supply.
Using different tools (hdparm and dd) the USB read speed always maxes out at about 9MB/s which is far less than the same devices deliver on other systems (e.g. about 25MB/s on my Raspberry Pi). Does anyone have an idea why this is the case or how this can be improved? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
