How is the I/O speed? With my current pi B I can get max 2 mb/s when I rsync to my macbook from a usb-disk. Has this increased?

Probably not. Just more ports, better overcurrent protection and hotplug capabilities. (But along with a better energy efficiency this means you can probably skip the USB hub for many applications and that's a huge improvement imo.)

If you care about I/O, you should look into the Banana Pi, it's like a really souped-up Pi with a lot of power, like fast Ethernet and a dual core processor. Of course, it also draws more power than the Raspi, but it's still a pretty good tradeoff.

  "Banana Pi" is absolutely different from Pi. Some comparances: http://hardware-libre.fr/tag/banana-pi/ http://hardware-libre.fr/tag/banana-pi/

    Yeah, I should have made that clearer. It's not a Raspberry Pi. Obviously, if any of the differences is a showstopper for you, don't use it. Personally, I'm happy with my Raspis and I have no experience with the Bananas. But "absolutely different"? And then putting the name of the Banana in scare quotes? That's a purist's perspective. Judging from the comment I was replying to, it seemed that the poster was less interested in an absolute clone of the Pi, but was in fact looking for something Pi-like with more I/O power. That assumption may have been wrong or not, who knows. I just felt like putting it out there as an option, which judging by the moderation wasn't warranted. Sorry about that.

    The benchmarks on that website are bogus. For example, he uses the gtkperf benchmark to draw the conclusion that the Banana Pi has a better GPU that the Raspberry Pi, but gtkperf doesn't even run on the GPU on the Raspberry Pi, and I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't on the Banana Pi either.
