Looking to buy a new usb-attached RAID box for nightly backups, and I see that many of them now support usb 3.1 with UASP.....
I'd rather have a NAS that supports NFS and/or SMB and lives on ethernet, so any host on your LAN can use it as a backup target.
I have one of those, too. we use it for "offline" storage, and/or for keeping stuff we want to share amongst the family.
what I'm looking at here is replacing an old RAID-1 backup box that's becoming increasingly troublesome, has never worked at usb-3, and its esata connection tends to fail about every other day, so now I'm stuck at usb-2 speeds.
Hence the question about usb 3.1 and UASP.
