RyanHua Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Hi guys, I currently building a small NAS, which act as a bittorent sync server. So I don't have to leave my laptop open 24/24. Haven't got any experience with either Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black. After doing a bit research, and find out BeagleBone Black seem a better system, but hard to setup and lack of information as well. While the Rasberry Pi have plenty of guide, instruction how to install bittorent sync. So which one is the best choice for bittorent sync?

richdotward Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Can only comment on the raspberry pi version. It works fine....Mines setup with crontab to turn on and of at set times. Syncs about 50 gig all with no issues. Running for about 3 months now.RichSent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duch Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I've been running a Raspberry Pi version on Arch Linux ARM for nine month with about 20 GB of data in sync. No issues either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanHua Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Look like Raspberry Pi is a popular choice and it's seem super easy to setup. But I can't ignore the specs of the Beaglebone Black, it's so damn good the price and look like the system can last long for long run. Any experience witht he Beaglebone Black? appreciate all inputs don't want regret after purchasing the unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dms2013 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Regret or not. Buy both, affordable and good to play around with. Maybe you can compare them and write a nice review/guide on how you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syadnom Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 The BBB is MUCH faster than the Pi. Additionally, it's USB port is faster. 700Mhz ARMv6 vs 1000Mhz ARMv7 equates to about 2.5x the CPU performance. btsync will hash files faster and have better IO on the BBB.

12345lamacun Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Raspberry PI works fine here as well.I have on running at home, where BTSync stores files on my NAS (did not get BTS working on my NAS) and one at my parents, connected to their NAS. Those minor problems I get from time to time are not really BTS-related (e.g. not mounting the NAS on reboot). Yeah, the RPI might be slow, but if your internet connection is even slower, and your NAS is not the best as well, you dont really care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
