Looking to buy a new usb-attached RAID box for nightly backups, and I see that many of them now support usb 3.1 with UASP.

Looking at add-in usb 3.1 cards (my motherboard is probably too old, and only supports usb 3.0) to go with it, but don’t know if the old kernel RH/CentOS uses supports UASP.

Chipset dependent? If one can trust the product images on Amazon, most of them use an asmedia 2142 chip.

Anyone know?

Thanks in advance!

  • I’d rather have a NAS that supports NFS and/or SMB and lives on ethernet, so any host on your LAN can use it as a backup target.

  • I have one of those, too. we use it for “offline” storage, and/or for keeping stuff we want to share amongst the family.

    what I’m looking at here is replacing an old RAID-1 backup box that’s becoming increasingly troublesome, has never worked at usb-3, and its esata connection tends to fail about every other day, so now I’m stuck at usb-2 speeds.

    Hence the question about usb 3.1 and UASP.
