USB Speed

I'm thinking of replacing my C3000-100NAS with a C7000/C7000-100NAS/ C7000-1AZNAS.  I have seen in the specs that the USB is USB 2.0 - but is it Standard 2.0 (12 mbps) or High Speed (480 mbps)? That's quite a difference.

And, if standard, what models support 802.11n & ac, and NAS at at least USB 2.0 HS?  USB 3.0 is an unneeded luxury because large file transfers to an HD won't run at 3 Gps. My goal is doing backups over wifi at a reasonable speed on a budget.

Re: USB Speed

Might look at the spec sheet to see if it mentions the USB 2.0 port speed.

If anything see what the C7800 does...

 

Honestly, you might think about getting in to wired NAS. Can be done on the cheap as well.

Re: USB Speed

It is USB2.0. 

USB on the most cable gateways are run at lower speeds and It is better to use NAS instead of USB backups.

 

If you need high USB speeds, look at very highend devices like R9000, etc
