What's the ping on that bird?
did it count the time to load the data onto the hdd and unload it at the other side?
how much time would it take to move 3tb onto a usb3 hdd?
Idk, but depending on your use case, you can probably use the data straight from the drive without transferring it to local storage.
In that case you could also just remotely access the usb stick through the internet without transfering all the data. In the video the guy includes the upload time from the USB stick. USB sticks can transfer data at up to 5gbit/s so it is still faster against a 1 gbit/s internet connection.
I was lucky enough to have 2Gb fiber introduced to my area recently - I have to say I rarely notice meaningful differences over my lowest tier cable connection. I pull 1400Mbs on router based tests, but routine endpoint speed tests are 300-700 range. Was 30 on prior connection. Can run more stuff all at once, but still get occasional streaming delays, 5min of low resolution streams, routine downloads are about the same. Now that Mullvad has dropped port forwarding, this pigeon system is sounding pretty attractive.
Yeah, but what about those upload speeds? Most cable providers give large download bandwidth, but next to nothing on your upload speeds. Synchronous connections are always best!
I have 5Gbps in download and 2.5Gpbs in upload!
I wish that pigeon can send me approximately 3000 pictures of the Atomium
That's specific
It's for irony sake
very variable
Who doubted that sneakernet would be faster?
I knew this was clickbait.
It's actually the latest Jeff Geerling video and it was partly tongue in cheek
Flash storage has come a long way in 10 years!
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
