Tested with `speedtest-cli` command-line Python tool in Windows and Linux
#ARDUINO NETWORK SPEED TESTER INSTALL#
On the Pi 3, the best I could get with this device was 304 Mbps download and 279 Mbps upload, but that's still 3x faster than the Pi 3's built-in Ethernet port and 12x faster than its built-in WiFi adapter.ĭetails, full test results, and speedtest-cli testing program install instructions are below. Note that although the device is rated for 1 Gbps, the fastest speeds I logged were 732 Mbps download and 551 Mbps upload, and that was on a super fast laptop while plugged into one of its USB 3.0 ports. You can play around and do your own internet speed testing with this device in various machines and configurations with a nice command-line Python tool called speedtest-cli. It appears however that since Solid State Drives are way faster at random access than Hard Disk Drives, which are magnetic spinning drives, they can also run programs faster, and that matters when your browser or system is doing a lot of file reading/writing or caching. The hard drive one is interesting to me but I didn't test it thoroughly. I discovered that many factors influence your network and internet speed, including: your computer's ethernet or wifi adapter, your router, your internet service, your USB port (2.0 vs 3.0), and even I believe your hard drive. I then decided to test it meticulously in 4 different computers to see how well it can use my new 1 Gbps fiber optic internet connection.
I was thrilled! No configuration required! Just plug and go. I bought the above adapter this past week ( here's my Amazon review) and discovered that it worked natively with Linux, including Ubuntu and Raspbian.
