Hello! My name is Thomas and I'm a nerd. I like tech and gadgets and speculative fiction, and playing around with programming. It's not my day job, but I'm working on making it a side gig :)
I got a question - do you use the SD card or have you plugged an external drive to your RPi? If you use the SD card, are you noticing any considerable delays when uploading / downloading stuff?

The OS is on an SD card but all storage is on a separate USB drive.
For our usage pattern (two users, few devices concurrently) I can detect no performance issues at all.
Apparently it becomes a problem with high concurrency because the ethernet port shares a bus with the USB connectors, so disk writes and network traffic ends up competing for the bus causing slowdowns.
I am really happy with the NextCloudPi setup I have here at home. There are sync clients for all platforms and it runs super smoothly.
It's the perfect setup for me and my wife since we have three computers and two phones between us that we like to share stuff between.
NextCloudPi - looks pretty neat!

Thanks! The shared bus info was something I did not anticipate.
