Usb 3.0 vs 2.0
« on: June 21, 2013, 08:46:48 PM »
I have been testing usb transfers. I have a 32Gb usb 3.0 drive. Using 5Ghz 802.11ac, connected at 585Mbps. Ok I have a 1 Gb test video, fat32 partition. When copying on usb 2.0 mode, I get 20-23Mbps. With usb 3.0 I get 6-10Mbps. Has anyone tried copying files down to a pc.

How are you connecting to the drive via USB on the Router? Shareport or mapped drive in windows?

Does single mode N do the same thing on 5Ghz and 2.4ghz?

Not sure if the router was doing anything to the drive as it drive activity like was going before and during the actual xfers. Could be some router processing effecting some performance.

I can't test AC since the adapter I have doesn't work on MAC...yet.  ::)
No differences seen.

Should make any differences if wired. The USB 2.0/3.0 only seems to effect 2.4Ghz Radio from what I read about it.

5Ghz AC DIR-868 using Bridged DIR-865L Gb LAN wired to Mac
12-14Mb READ
7-8Mb WRITE

USB 3.0 Selected
5Ghz AC DIR-868 using Bridged DIR-865L Gb LAN wired to Mac
12-13Mb READ

I presume this is what could be expected behavior between the different USB speeds.  ???
