As you can see a USB-Hub is attached along with a 2GB USB-Stick. I used it to store my rootfs on external storage [1]. Additionally my 2TB external hard drived is attached to the device so I can access the data per NFS [2].

What about speed?

TP Link speed

In general you won’t get more than 5.60MB/s. It depends on your drives read/write speed and the connection. In my case I was using WLAN which was slower than normal LAN connectivity. But that’s fine with me.
