It's still a lot faster than using the usb-storage driver before with the old 4.9 kernel. This showed comparable performance, slightly worse than what you would attribute to measurement error (which I attribute to the fact that the system is never completely idle and now accesses the same medium as the benchmark programs in the background). I ran some benchmarks here, also referenced in the post above yours (" I got lucky with the first adapter/SSD combination").Īt the time of my original posting, I still booted from a microSD card, but I repeated the same tests multiple times after I reinstalled everything on said SSD and removed the former (always using Petitboot). I'm using a Crucial CT500MX500SSD1 SSD and a StarTech USB3S2SAT3CB cable (containing an ASMT ASM105x controller). Also, if you are using an external SSD drive, let us know the brand/model/size. If you were booting from USB3 SSD, please share with us what's your enclosure brand and model including your SSD drive manufacturer, model and size as well. No, I'm referring to general slow reading/writting speeds when you boot via USB3 SSD with or without petiboot. Part of this huge difference in transfer speeds relies on UAS protocol being disabled by 5.7 kernels by default when you boot form USB3 SSD and it's automatically enabled in "supported SSD drives with the right USB3 to SATA adapter" when you boot from an eMMC module.Īre you referring to the duration of the boot process? Is this documented somewhere (couldn't find it using a search engine, but then maybe I chose the wrong keywords)?īecause with a single SSD attached (no eMMC module, no microSD card), lsusb -t clearly shows Port 1: Dev 3, If 0, Class=Mass Storage, Driver=uas, 5000M using kernel 5.7.14-202008080152~focal after login for me. I get some crazy fast speeds of 390MB /sec for reading/writing speeds. If I boot from an eMMC module, and I use my SSD drive as a secondary drive. If I boot my N2/N2Plus from USB3 with my Samsung Evo 860 256Gb or 500Gb, the maximum speeds I'd get with 4.9 or 5.7 kernels will be 240MB /s. In this way if there's a compatibility issue, would be easier to troubleshoot and get it working with your N2/N2Plus.īased on my personal experience, the best way to achieve faster and stable speeds with N2/N2Plus is to boot from eMMC module and use your external/enclosure SSD as a secondary/backup drive, never booting from USB3 SSD.Įx.

I'd stick with Enclosures w/ jmicron JMS578 chipsets only like official HK USB3.0 to SATA Bridge Board Plus It's powered by the USB port and should run one of my old Samsung Evo 850 250GB SSD's at higher speeds than my NFS connection or eMMC can do.īe careful by randomly choosing enclosures for your SSD drive, specially if you're going to use it with your N2/N2Plus.
