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.
Looking at add-in usb 3.1 cards (my motherboard is probably too old, and only supports usb 3.0) to go with it, but don't know if the old kernel RH/Centos uses supports UASP.
Chipset dependent? If one can trust the product images on Amazon, most of them use an asmedia 2142 chip.
Anyone know?
Thanks in advance!

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.
