Daggerfall came out before your computer so it will run, but it is beside the point.Q8-V08 wrote:I only have a ancient winxp pentium 4 with intergrated gpu so I probably couldn't run it anyway.
That said my router supports 802.11ac 433Mbps surely that's enough to fully saturate it's usb 2.0 port?
are you saying i'd need a usb 3.0 router with 802.11ac 1300Mbps wireless?
You could have the fastest router running the fastest drive over a sata connection and it would not matter at all. What matters is that when you use a networked drive you will introduce lag. Example:
Normal drive operation:
PROGRAM needs file 1 so it calls drive C: and asks for the file.
Drive C: looks up the file's location and then sends the file to the PROGRAM.
Networked drive operation:
PROGRAM needs file 1 so it calls drive N:[mounted network drive] and asks for the file.
Drive manager software looks up network location of drive N: and wirelessly contacts Router 1 to read file 1 from drive N:.
Router 1 needs file 1 so it calls drive U:[USB drive] and asks for the file.
Drive U: looks up the file's location and then sends the file to Router 1.
Router 1 looks up Device 1 amd sends the file over wireless to it.
Drive manager takes file 1 sent from router 1 and makes it available to Drive N:
Drive N: looks up the file's location and then sends the file to the PROGRAM.
That is a very very very simplified explination of the differences between a connected storage solution and a network attached storage solution. Where a normal drive would have a response time in nano seconds the extra software and hardware in the chain means that network drives would have ms response times under the best of times. In a system like android where it uses a just in time compiler due to running on arm processors the situation ia only made more pronounced.
It does not matter how fast you can send data it matters how fast you can access the data.
