Changing the USB port for Add-ons.

[Igs]

Hi. I have RX-AX86U and it has two USB ports. One is for my HDD drive and another for Addons on a flashdrive (Skynet and Diversion). Is it save to rearrange them? Or this will affect the add-ons and I have reinstall everything from scratch? I want to put the Addons behind the USB3.

Will the USB3 give the the better performance for Add-ons? If not, then obviously I will do this.

I believe both ports on the AX86U are USB3. The AX86U Pro has a USB2 AND USB3 port.
No, changing to a USB3 port will not significantly improve add on operation. I use the USB2 on my AX86U Pro with a USB2 thumb drive and it works very well.

Sorry, yeah, I meant the Pro version.
When the Diversion and Skynet do its job, does it need to to make something on USB drive to perform the filtering?

But then again, the speed of the write and read operation on HDD was always the same regardless the port in use. So, probably, it really won't make any difference...

No reason to worry. Skynet, amtm and Diversion handle that on the fly.
