Hello Kyiv, here is the report summary. 

Whilst they claimed to have it runs at some decent speed of 20-40 MB/s on their internal test, that number is still nothing compared to the bandwidth of 5Gbps of USB 3.0, and my plugin drive at HDD at reach 100 MB/s on local test (plug directly to the host machine), or an SATA SSD peaks at 350-450 MB/s.

Note that at the time of this ticket and now, even with some up-to-date drivers, the speed is still the same. If you can reach 50MB/s read, that is great, mine is just 20 MB/s

Traverse across the community platform, this seems to happen on all models came with USB 3.0 who does not want to host a NAS but a simple USB for file transfer. So you might want to use a local plugin or have a NAS to gain better speed.

P/s: I have worked in the IT domain, from hardware like laptop, networking to DevOps long enough to conduct all the tests above to support my claims (different drives, single connections to multi connections to router (with one devices to the USB storage), ...)

Best Regards,
