Hi All,
Considering to upgrade my network to 2.5 Gb Ethernet, I was wondering is the Vero V can use an USB 3 2.5 Gb adapter like this Qnap thing (QNA-UC5G1T | Connectez-vous aux réseaux 5GbE sur l’USB 3.2 Gen 1 | QNAP) and manage the 2.5 Gb speed or is this useless ?
Thanks and regards,
Patrick
It can be done - but I don’t see the point.
OK thanks.
Do you also have HDDs or SSDs plugged into your Vero V?
If so, I’d be curious to see what write speeds you get to them over the networks.
What would you use 2.5 GB to or from Vero for? Nothing it streams or takes in would likely use it.
Moving a 90GB remux to an SSD also on the USB3?
Sure, you could use it for that if you store stuff on the Vero and it might be slightly faster. Which is why I said “LIKELY”.
Yeah I get it, and the ethernet and SSD would have to share the USB3 port so there’s that too.
I’d be curious to see what he gets if he does that though.
I have my Vero V hardwired to my network and send files to USB3 attached HDDs and I get like 110 MBs (pretty much saturating the gigabit NIC considering overhead).
I know the drives could do 170+ MBs on USB3 and an SSD would go even faster.
So at best you are just transferring stuff to storage faster (5 minutes per 90GB file as apposed to 13 minutes).
But the sending device and the router/switch need to be 2.5 capable too.
The jump from USB2 to USB3 for DAS was huge and welcome, unfortunately I think it caused more remote issues though; the gains from 1 Gbps to 2.5 Gbps would likely not be as impressive in the real world.
I have other TVs that watch content that’s stored on my Vero V DAS and I haven’t had issues with multiple streams going outbound over gigabit, but I guess if you had more users then the 2.5 could help but if that’s your use case you should likely be getting a NAS.
Either way, I hope he does it because I’d like to see the results!
