Might be better with USB3 though, but I am still not convinced. If performance is important, USB to SATA doesn't make much sense. Especially not if all the USBs are hanging off one hub. > I saw some time ago there was extention board with SATA 2 or 4, which was > promising. Interesting to know if someone have used such thing with debian. Does the Raspi chipset support natively SATA? There are other small, affordable SBCs with direct SATA support. They'd make more sense for this application. OTOH -- if the main interest is in tinkering and learning... tinker away! Cheers -- t
