Hi,
I’m using this addon with my pi4, is there anything I can do to speed it up? With both the pi4 and my desktop connected via cable to my router i’m getting ~65MB/sec when exactly the same USB SSD gets ~400MB when connected to my PC. I thought the pi4 should be able to do ~4Gbps via USB3.0. Not sure how I can improve this but it’s pretty annoying as I can download from the web faster than I can write to this disk (1st world problems).
The ethernet on rpi4 is Gigabit (1Gbps).
Practically, you get around 900Mbps, so about 110MBps max.
Samba is not known to be the most efficient protocol around, so 65MBps seems a bit low, but not outrageously so.
