![]() The Raspberry Pi only has a 100 MBit ethernet port while the Banana Pi has a 1 Gbit ethernet port. I set up an iperf server on a Windows machine and connected to via 100Mbit and 1000Mbit from the Raspberry and Banana Pi. Network Throughput Tests over LAN iperf Benchmarks SFTP was not tested because the overhead of the encryption is too much for these ARM processors to handle, limiting speeds to about 5 MB/s. That may change as 802.11ac spreads but for now ethernet is rock solid and should be used for reliable NAS or media server setups for maximum speed wherever possible. I did not test WiFi because – despite its convenience – I always avoid it because connections drop and speeds are overall worse than with ethernet. Robocopy was used for copying from SAMBA shares.Īll tests were repeated 5 times and averaged to calculate an accurate data transfer rate. Xlight FTP server and Filezilla were used for FTP tests. I used Bananian on the Banana Pi because it has the lowest memory footprint of the debian-based distros available.įor the Raspberry Pi I used Minibian because it has a low memory footprint for a Raspbian-based distro.
