- kingosticks 7y agoWhat makes it better than USB for this purpose?
- beatgammit 7y agoI would love something with 4x SATA ports for a NAS like this one[1]. I've seen PCIe on devices like these, but I've heard there are issues getting drivers to work properly. I haven't actually tried it, but other limitations (RAM, CPU, Ethernet) have prevented me from actually giving it a shot (I want ZFS, which is a bit memory hungry). The Pi has just enough that I think it's doable. I would absolutely love it if the Raspberry Pi foundation made a version with PCIe instead of USB. - [1] https://www.newegg.com/syba-si-pex40064-sata-iii/p/N82E16816124064 https://www.newegg.com/syba-si-pex40064-sata-iii/p/N82E16816...
