Freefilesync raspberry pi12/8/2023 ![]() The problem I faced was that when I was viewing one photo on the network drive from Windows, and want to navigate quickly to the next or previous photo, the photo viewer just stop responding, waiting the data to be sent from my Raspberry Pi. I have configured photos taken using my phone automatically sync to my Raspberry Pi using Resilio Sync, and from time to time, I will need to access those photos, removing blur one and picking the best shot to keep (phone screen is just too small distinct blur photos). In particular, in browsing photos taken using my phone. When Raspberry Pi 4B is out, I immediately upgraded it with an advanced grade microSD card Toshiba M302 64GB Exceria but unfortunately I am still not satisfying with the speed of Samba file sharing. I used it as a personal cloud, and also as NAS which runs Samba file sharing. The BlacX dock will remain in use whichever server I'm using.I have been using Arch Linux on Raspberry Pi 2B since 2016. I went back to my small fanless Windows box (FitPC3) after upgrading it to Win10 but there remain some issues with that device's limited ability to work with Win10 I may go back to the Pi4. I recently built an rPi4 with PiCorePlayer and tested it with the BlacX dock and it worked perfectly for my entire library. I use the older USB2 version for the server, as I don't need more speed in that context. More recently I've used one as the music source drive for my music server. I make backups to 2.5" drives for important files and store these offsite (bank safety deposit box). My original use was with my primary desktop computer. ![]() They're reasonably priced and offer much flexibility, not to mention the ability to choose the actual drive for the characteristics you want. Other models can accept two drives, very useful for copying or cloning. The ones I have (an older USB2 dock and a newer USB3) accommodate a single drive, either a 2.5" (laptop type) or 3.5" (desktop type). I quite like the docks, as they are meant to be used with raw internal drives, no enclosure necessary. I use one of these BlacX docks from Thermaltake with a 3.5" 2tb WD Blue drive for my music collection, attached to a dedicated server. ![]()
