Hey there,
I‘m using my Nextcloud on a Raspi 3B. Aditionally Minidlna is installed, that I can view my data easily on my tv.
My data (500gb) is installed on an external SSD (1TB), connected via usb. And thats the problem: The usb is slow, upload is about 6 MB/s.
My idea: Copy/Paste to a 2 TB Micro SSD. Could this work? And how?

if this was a typo and you plan to use Micro SD likely this is dead end - micro SD if usually slower than regular SSD. you always can have very bad SSD and compare with high-end SD card but the rule of thumb is “SSD is faster than SD”… afaik Raspi 3 always access SSD through USB - likely better Raspi is the way to go…
Hi,
thank you! I thought the USB-connection is the bottleneck. But if its the raspi itself i‘ll change it.
Thanks

this definitely a bottleneck for an SSD… maybe an SD could perform better in such setup I can’t say… but in general SSD is much faster. an AFAIK SDs are not designed for continous writes like I would expect with Nextcloud…
I could imagine that the whole design of the Pi is not really suitable for a fast Nextcloud. In the end, of course, it depends on your own requirements.
For more performance you could look for “NUC” based on amd64 such as Intel. Your SSD will then run really well. NUC is vastly superior in every way.
For test you can create a free Nextcloud user in a Managed Nextcloud in the internet. Nextcloud should feel similar in terms of performance. Alternative you can test with Wolkesicher Demo Cloud. Upload and download some test files.
Hey there,
I think thats it. Thank you so much for your help. Because its running (archive for fotos and stuff) Illlet it as it is. I dont want to risk that. But if I need more performance Ill test it as you suggested.
Thank you so much!
