Performances is OK - currently around 27-28 MB/s write to a USB HDD (I use it just now for backups of VMware Images with VMExplorer). For the Cubietruck + 2 TB 2,5'' HDD I use a 2,5A power adapter. For a additional USB HDD it is an extra power adapter required for the USB disk.

Two Cubietruck/OMV benchmarks compared to a QNAP NAS

Compared to a QNAP TS412 NAS

could be, it is not the fastes HDD - it is a Western Digital WD20NPVX (6Gb/s, 5400rpm, 8MB Cache), but it was also traffic on the LAN

I was hoping for better performance on the Cubie with SATA connection.
What is the make/model of the HDD you are using? Could that be a bottleneck?

nice box - interesting is th GB NIC (even if is the bandwidth limited to 470Mbps due the chip busses), but no realy cheaper, I pay currently for the Cubietruck 89,- $ + 4,- $ for a case. I use the boards normaly as ThinClient, because the have also a VGA port. If I change to a other board, it must have also USB30

If you want better performance, get a Cubox-i4 pro (link). It is a quad core Cortex A9 vs the truck's dual core Cortex A7. It has 2 gb ram, gigabit ethernet, a case, and is cheaper I have Wheezy running on mine but haven't had time to put omv on it.
