Those speeds are extremely theoretical: 1- both interfaces have overhead, USB a lot more than SATA. So that 480 Mbps pipe really doesn't ever deliver more than around 350 of useful data. 2- USB uses a lot of CPU cycles to manage the connection and handle the data. Someone's noticed that even with j...

My BlackBerry charger reads: Input: 100-240V ~ 150mA 50-60Hz 10-20VA Output: 5V-700mA Can I use it with my RasPi? Also, what does 10-20VA mean? I'm sorry to ask all this, but I'm a total beginner in this matters... Focus on the Input and Output... Also VA sounds like it might have been VAC (AC Volt...

BTW My Order# was in the 22,000 range @ May 19th and got shipped July 4th so it got shipped in about 15 days and from there it only took 2-3 days to make it to my door.

The email sent said to expect to wait 4 weeks so I'm very happy it came in about half the time

I think people are disappointed with USB3.0 peripherals on the RPi because to maintain compatibility they will fall back to USB2.0 speeds thus they wont get the same performance out of them as they would if they hooked them up to their newer desktop or laptop machines that have a USB3.0 port.

The question I have is why isnt the ftp storing only a certain amount of data before writing to the disk. I would imagine it has to do with flash memory being used because on conventional disks most FTP programs seem to reserve a section of disk space (like a block for the whoe thing) then write to ...

swish got it up and running but the clock is set to 1970, could this be why I'm not getting an IP address web access or citrix working (SSL errors)? How do I set the time please? Could be. Remember SSL certs are signed for a certain period of time. Thus if your computer thinks its 1970 and the cert...

Interesting dillema. You could do the obvious method of handling things and have your RPi spoof your laptops MAC address. If they are using a MAC address whitelist then this will solve your problem. You then have your laptop spoof the RPi MAC address (because having two MACs the same on the same sub...
