But, in your case, you may want to go that route just in case.Īlso, if you don't have a wireless router already and need one, then you may want to keep it, even if the file server part isn't as fast as desired. Now, I rarely return anything (the last thing I remember returning to Amazon was a a little Sony camera about 10 years ago). But, not when I can get the same thing directly from a vendor like Amazon for the same money, especially if it's a product I think I may want to return because I'm not sure about it's suitability.

IOW, why go to the trouble of buying it from an Ebay vendor for $129, when you can get it from Amazon for $129.99 with free shipping, and get their 30 day return policy on electronics like that? Just buy it from a vendor that allows returns within 30 days (for example, directly from Amazon). If it's too slow then I'll get rid of the Asus RT-N65U on eBay and lose $10-$20. That's good enough to browse thru D4 NEF and D800e NEF files. If I can get 30MBps throughput as you mention I'll be very happy. I already have many SATA 2.5 drives, USB3 cables, EVDO 3G dongles. I just want to try and setup a wifi file server for as cheap dollar-wise and as cheap time-wise as possible.
But, I wouldn't expect to get anywhere near that in most real world conditions.

You'd need wireless devices that support that connection speed (most Wireless N chipsets and antenna designs are probably limited to 150 or 300 Megabits per second under optimum conditions), and if you did use Wireless Adapters with 3x3 MIMO antenna designs and drivers supporting 450Mbps, throughput would still depend on signal strength which is going to vary by range to the router (expect it to drop off). IOW, assume 8 bits to a byte for those types of calculations.īut, I think it's highly unlikely you're really get that much throughput. When looking at throughput, divide the stated rate in Megabits by 8 to get Megabytes:Ĥ50Mbps would give you 56.25 MB/s (Megabytes per second) I thought GigE/etc and older used 10 bits per 8 bit byte (8B/10B encoding) but I haven't looked at the specs in over a decade ? Let us know how it works if you decide to try one. nef files like you're mentioning is probably not going to be a great idea compared to using a local drive for that purpose (as a locally attached drive is likely going to be at least 3 or 4 times as fast as access speed via wireless to a drive connected to a router like that), although it may be fine for backups and browsing of jpeg images. However, my guess is that trying to use it as a working drive for browsing and editing. I have not found any reviews showing performance to a USB attached drive with that router yet. IOW, I'd expect a local drive to be several times as fast as accessing a drive via wireless connected to a router like that.īut, I'd be curious how well it really works.

So, even if the router had a very fast CPU built in, I still wouldn't expect to see more than around 30MB/Second max over a Wireless Connection to the drives since you'd have packet processing from the wireless connection as well as delays from the server software accessing the drives (probably an embedded linux or bsd OS for that purpose) Chances are, the connection throughput is going to be slower than the theoretical maximum, too You've got packet delays due to router and workstation processing of them involved and more.

IOW, even if you did manage to get a connection at a full 450Mbps, that's still only 56MB/Second (there are 8bits in a byte). Now, they probably tested them over Gigabit Ethernet, and you're not going to have that via a wireless connection. See a chart here showing how many of them perform: What you tend to see with a dedicated NAS using a slower embedded ARM CPU is relatively slow performance. Ditto for more memory for disk cache purposes. But, something on the order of a dual core Atom CPU at a minimum usually a good idea (and and even faster CPU is better). Now, that doesn't mean you need the latest Core i7 CPU or anything. Wondering how fast it really is when browsing through Nikon NEF files and editing under PS ?īut, as a general rule of thumb, if you look at a dedicated NAS, the ones with weaker CPUs and less memory are usually very slow, and you need to get into boxes with faster CPUs and more memory for disk cache before you start seeing better performance. It has 802.11n 450Mbps and can attach two USB3.0 drives. I'm looking at this ASUS RT-N65U wifi file server.
