Hi all,
I switched my old usb 1 external hdd for a USB 2.0 flash drive with multiple partitions.
Because it is a flash drive and nog a mechanic disc spinnig including USB 2.0 which is supported by the R7800 I tought this would be faster.
So I formatted multiple partitions on it (JFFS, Optware and data). The first ext 2 and the last FAT32.
I noticed that creating and formatting those partitions was a lot slower than on the old external HDD?
Will this also say something about the performance that the new flash drive will also be slower?

If external HDD is a spinner it will drain more power form the USB, so its presumed it has an external power supply, than it will work faster than the normal crap USB drive, unless its not a high speed USB thumb drive as it may have a better transfer rate...
Routers are not designed like PC...as well if you need NAS get a proper one...
Although my R7800 has an SATA interface i've never wanted to use it..no idea if its working as a such via DDWRT anyway.. _________________ Atheros
