Usb 3.0 NAS supporting Routers ?

Post by Mloki »

Are there any Routers with a USB 3.0 Port suppoted, that can grant NAS access to a connected HDD/SSD like the Asus RT-N65U N750 ?
I already have a Netgear WNDR3700 v2 with Gargoyle running, and it is great, now i would like to upgrade to the NAS functions, how much sense does it make at all to wait for an USB 3.0 Router to use Gargoyle with it ?

Usb 3.0 speeds are basically completed negated by the fact you have a very slow processor dealing with it.

So, would you suggest me to put a HDD on my WNDR3700 USB Port then ?

Would you suggest me to flash the new 1.7.0 on my router ? It runs with Gargoyle Version 1.6.0 now. It might improve the performance, what do you think ?
