![]() This board is still at the heart of my NASpi. Troubled at launch with inferior network performance, subsequent updates fixed the transfer issues. ![]() Prior to Raspberry Pi 4, this was the ultimate board to go to, with increased Ethernet performance (up to 300Mbits) and 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 802.11b/g/n/ac wireless band. Let’s hope the same fate awaits Raspberry PI 4. Thankfully, that got resolved with time and the Raspberry Pi 3B+ was capable of using increased speeds. I remember this being an issue with Raspberry Pi3B+ where initial transfer speeds were worse than on Raspberry Pi 2. The most surprising is the WiFi 2.4Ghz result, where despite the boost in CPU, data can’t keep a consistent rate. You could grab one from Seeed Studio or go directly to the Raspberry Pi partners stores. The WiFi shares the bus with USB 2.0 so I’m expecting some serious bottlenecks there. The latest and greatest! The board comes with a 1Gbit adapter and it’s capable of serving 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 802.11b/g/n/ac wireless LAN networks. So in all cases, the Raspberry Pi board will be responsible for the final Raspberry Pi Network Speed Test result. I’m able to easily oversaturate the network with the direct “over the USB3.0” transfers reaching 270MB/s. The files are written to an SSD (PNY SSD CS900 UK/ US – $30) connected via USB 3.0 and 1Gbit network. Asus P8Z77 V-Deluxe integrated 1Gbit Ethernet.USB3.0 to 1Gbit Ethernet adapter (tested).While benchmarks are not done to compare results to the split second, I wanted to investigate different network options available with each board. Raspberry Pi Network Speed Test has been designed to test the WiFi and the Ethernet interfaces including USB adapters. I skipped the 2.4GHz 5GB tests using a USB adapter as this would take another day just to complete. If you are looking for maximum numbers in synthetic benchmarks, this test is not for you. These are probably the most “real life” scenarios you will encounter. Files are served via a simple Samba server. To test the speeds across various interfaces, I’m going to read and write the data:įile sizes have been picked to showcase the transfer of the files which are not cached by RAM (5GB) (I shot myself in a foot here by ordering 4GB RAM Raspberry Pi 4), multi-file transfer (pictures) and a bigger file which can be cached by each board (512 RAM limit) – 300MB. Raspberry Pi Network Speed Test – testing methodology This time, I’m not going to use iperf3, but do the “real life” tests as I got very disappointing results in the past. The Raspberry Pi 4 is out, the board comes with the new iteration of Raspbian “Buster”, which gives me a reason to investigate the speeds again on all Raspberry Pi boards I own.
