Sep 8, 2013 4:34 AM in response to cnltfby LaPastenague,Are you using it over wireless or over ethernet??
Speed on wireless until you get new AC units is probably not too different between the USB and internal disk. They are very different on external. but I have not seen a proper review or comparison of speeds on the new model.. the last Gen4 is equally fast though so the difference will not be great.
Read the whole review.

Sep 8, 2013 4:39 AM in response to LaPastenagueby cnltf,I ll be using it over ethernet mostly. wifi for ipads iphones appletv etc. I have seen the review you have posted but I am wondering if it is also same with the new gen airports. So internal hdd will perform better than external hdd connected to usb2.0 if I use it over ethernet?

Sep 8, 2013 5:03 AM in response to cnltfby LaPastenague,Absolutely.. so far as the numbers I have seen the latest disk throughput is not up to the standard of Gen4.. I think it can improve but at the moment the firmware is too new.
Remember the Gen4 TC was optimised over a long period. So I would actually expect same or slightly slower speed from Gen5 TC internal disk. The speed over ethernet of the external plugged in by USB is very poor.. and will not get better with firmware.. it is processor and USB bound.. usb2 is always slow on routers.
