Well in the Middle School Shower of storage bandwidth... that's not a very big carrot...

I've got 32GB RAM disks in my data center that put that number to shame - so I ask...

What's the point here?

Having a DL380 Gen6 in the house - the fan noise alone will exceed the spousal/partner approval factor...

Have another look at the USB3 transfer rate. I personally haven't seen that before.

Doesn't matter when one is working with Enterprise level gear... but the data rates there are impressive for USB3, but one will never see that with a Proliant in the data center...

I think those USB3.0 data rates should be possible elsewhere and with residential router\nas technology but I haven't seen it.

The point of this post was to show that USB3.0 rates this high are possible and maybe find out if others are able to get this with different equipment.

My intention was not to have the post about my modest office server.

By way those DL380s are awesome but hugely expensive.

Lolz... now I get it...

Yah, DL380's are pretty awesome, but one must be careful when choosing things on the eBay, because there are a number of generations... and they all belong in a data center -

Don't bring one home, seriously, your spouse/partner/children/cats and dogs will hate you - not only are they loud, it's at a frequency that will drive you nuts - that's why we put them in buildings behind big secure walls and multiple levels of access - and you all thought it was for security :D

Nice to post a baseline - USB3 on a balls out server - that's cool... even though most folks will never see this, unless they have a DL380 class server hidden in their closet, and perhaps that's a might fine and warm closeet...

Thunderbolt on an ultrabook - e.g.a 900 dollar MacBook Air punches that number pretty hard for Storage Performance, iMac's and MacBookPro beats it even harder, and the Mac Pro's (TrashCan Style), well, go into High End Windows workstations, pretty much same... USB3 starts to fade pretty quick.

Oh well...USB3 is good enough for most folks

And good enough sells through, eh?

It sure does sell.

I haven't experimented with Thunderbolt yet.

Maybe my premise for this post isn't right because it occurred to me that this was a local file transfer not a network transfer which would typically top out at 100mb/s on a 1 gig network connection anyway wouldn't it? Still this is the only time I've seen USB3.0 transfer this fast locally.
 
I just worry that your post will set some expectation levels with regards to USB3 - yeah, in the right conditions, with the right host, it can be pretty darn fast...

In many cases though, it's not... depends on the client and host...
 
You're right! I'm going to ask that this thread be deleted. Thanks for discussing it with me :)
 
No need to delete this thread. It's a valid discussion.

If anything, what you observed with the HP Proliant is a good indication of where we'll likely see SoC's in the next 18-24 months if Moore's Law holds true... Some NAS boxes can probably hit it now on the higher end x86 Intel boxes, but I think we'll see similar performance in ARM space sooner than later...

Now whether that trickles over to the Router/AP USB Filesharing, not really sure, as the horsepower would be better put to use doing other things that router/AP's will need now that Gigabit WAN connections are becoming more common.

So yep, not a bad discussion.
 
I don't think I've ever seen so high transfer rates on USB3, and as such I find this very interesting. Not that I use USB3 for anything meaningful, but it does show that your success with it is highly dependent on the hardware used (USB controllers I guess).

The hardware on the Windows 2012 R2 initially didn't have very good transfer rates with the default Microsoft driver for the HP PCIE USB3.0 card used. That changed once I found an updated HP driver for the PCIE USB3.0 card.
