We plugged in the Eminent HD Media Player via the USB 3.0 connection and transferred files across.
We then thought we'd test a more realistic transfer of a collection of over 50 large .AVI files – similar to that of a ‘movie collection' – totaling over 53 GB of data.
53.6 GB in 9 mins 13 seconds. When transferring music you will find the average speed drops closer to around 70-80 MB/s, due to lots of smaller files – but this is still pretty impressive.
Certainly these are quick speeds and we are fairly impressed with the data transfer rate via USB 3.0. The data transfer rate via Gigabit Ethernet is still more than capable of streaming HD movies, from a computer or other network attached storage.
Nice looking device, but its quite costly and I think they might have a hard time against AC RYan who seem to dominate this market. shame about the processing power on the interface, but it might be code issues, rather than weak hardware. why no shot of insides?
£200 is a bit steep, no? The Veolo looks much nicer, and its cheaper. no hard drive, but its a network device, no real need for that IMO
