Vero 4K+ Still Usb 2.0?

if Vero would have except its gigaibit LAN also usb3.0, you dont need to bother with any optional extFS drivers for windows. External HDD can be connected to Vero forever and formatted to ext4. You can directly move files over gigiabit LAN to that HDD, without any bottleneck or need to connect that HDD somewhere else = possible problems with reading/writing support to extFS
I used to do it like this on my old HTPC.

In current time, there are two bottlenecks on Vero4k: 100Mbit LAN and usb2.0.
On Verok4+, which have gigabit LAN, the usb2.0 still remains as bottleneck.

Small correction, using samba the CPU would be a possible bottleneck. Vero is a mediacenter not a fileserver

You can access OSMC NFS server just fine with W10Pro. And you can even run your own NFS server on Win10, there would not be a need for Samba. @shiro35 is definitely making the case for a Vero4K+ Ultra Premium to be sold next to the Vero4K+

But besides USB3 I would rather see an internal SATA3 connector, ability to install a 2.5" HDD and a USB3.1 gen1 port (USB-C), perhaps 2, one to power the Vero so I don’t need the dedicated power port. Oh and while we are at it, DisplayPort or video out via USB-C would be fun
Of course a faster SoC & RAM that would support all this I am sure plenty of people would pay twice the price of the Vero4K+ (which already has a very good price for what you get). Because the Ultra Premium would definitely qualify as single bay NAS with ability to add a secondary HDD via USB.
