I want to be able to use my hardware as a general purpose low-power always on server with tv media stored locally and a media server.
Iâm pretty sure weâd already meet that requirement, and Iâd be surprised if you could saturate the USB bus with such tasks.
For now though, itâs USB2 only.
I may still go ahead and get one. I am still sore about the time it took to restore a 3TB backup from my NAS when I got a new USB drive. But, thatâs not a daily occurrance and most everything I would do routinely would be fine.
I like that the machine is purpose-built for the hardest part of the job â media server and a Pi 4 wonât be in my future as long as it doesnât do 4K since usb3 is kind of nice-to-have not need-to-have, frankly.
Love the work you guys are doing and may get one anyway to show support. And, Christmas is comingâŚ
I think a Vero 4k+ is a great lockdown holiday gift for the right person.
Thatâs fair enough. To be honest, if you were to restore from a NAS to a USB drive, youâd be better off doing so from a PC or laptop. But as you say, this isnât an everyday occurrence.
