Around the time I came here trying to get a poor man's ZyXEL NSA 320 together using Pogoplugs, I'd ran into a Computer Science professor who said he was cleaning out and might have a network box. I had no idea what he meant, but the other day got an email from him and it's an
Iomega 2TB external thing with printer support. It's said to have an Oxford 810SE chipset with 370MHz CPU Processor, and on my Gigabit LAN reads and writes in the 9MB/sec range. I took the hard drive out and it's formatted Ext 3 on a Seagate Barracuda 2TB SATA II.
With one USB port dedicated either to a printer or more USB storage, I plugged in a new SanDisk Ultra 32GB and the read speed across gigabit peaked a 8MB/sec.
With 64MB onboard RAM I don't have plans to hack it, but just thought I'd pass along another indicator that a lower power CPU is a bottleneck. Still I intend to analyse this for Science. And cancel my 3rd Beelink plans because my bodhian-Pogoplugs all exceed these transfer specs! I'll tweak this for a long time and see what's what.
