I'm reposting this from the other forum, but now there's a Bubba|Two forum I figure it's worth doing so people can find it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I haven't had a massive amount of time to test it yet, but given the limited tests I have performed, I'm very impressed.

So far:

Throughput is twice as fast as Bubba (I've tested SMB transfers and FTP)
The web interface is much snappier, and prettier (imo)
It seems to run cooler than the original version
Mounting additional USB drives works brilliantly

I've been asked to test WordPress and Joomla, so I'll be giving that a go soon. I'm going to Subversion too.

I'm also going to try eSata drives, and any other tests I can think of!

Here are some hastily snapped pictures. I'll do some better ones later on.

I ordered mine from clip training and am anxiously awaiting it. Thanks for the pics and the other post on Wordpress. I look forward to getting mine in place as a router/firewall for my home.

You write that "Thruput is twice that of Bubba1" which makes me extremely apprehensive. The main point of this version was a much higher bandwidth.

Two times "close to zero" is still frigging close to zero.

This means that up/downloading is around 6 Mbps on the B2?

From the forum and sales pitch my impression was that it was much faster!
