Title: HD Streaming over USB attached drive?
Post by: HTLuver on January 12, 2010, 12:56:25 PM

Has anyone been able to stream HD content (1080P with HD audio) over their USB attached storage device?  This would need to be able to transmit up to 50Mb/s which currently i can't :'(.  I just need to know if I'm surpassing the design of the device or I have a faulty product/setup.  I am currently unable to stream over air OR through the LAN ports on the back of the router through the USB ???.  Please someone confirm or deny my findings!!!!

I can stream HD bids from the Shareport, but its too choppy to be of use.  I have to plug my external directly into my system's USB port if I want to stream any video to, for example, my PS3 or a laptop.

All routers with USB NAS have low transfer speed(hardware limitation), so trying another brand isn't going to help. Get a real(gigabit) NAS device if you want to stream video.

"Don't try to drive a Formula 1 race with a Porsche". Get a dedicated NAS to do so, they USb enabled routrers offer tghis connectivity as a bonus without compromising the primary task: routing.
