Today I received a commecial offer on some external USB 3.0 disk enclosure. Since it was new to me I googled my way to wikipedia and found that the specs say USB 3.0 should have a 5 Gbit speeds capability.
I visited newegg and found out that a 2-port USB3.0 HBA is sold for 40$ and I also tried to search a USB 3.0 switch/hub, however did not find any yet. Since the small formfactor mobile drives could even receive power over their USB cable; this could be a interesting addtional feature. Could it be an interesting solution to build a very cheap storage area network? ( Ofcourse ZFS in the middle to manage the shares. ) Or is this wishfull (e.g. bad) thinking? Kind regards, Armand This directly made me thinking and I googled a 5 port
