Humax sought to bring a new series of premium home routers to market: the Humax Quantum T9 and Quantum T9X routers. For external USB support, Humax wanted reliable drivers that also provided the fastest data transfer speeds. That’s why they chose Tuxera exFAT and Tuxera NTFS embedded file systems.

For external USB support, Humax needed reliable drivers that also provided the fastest data transfer speeds. Although open-source file systems were an option, Humax had concerns about read/write speeds and CPU usage for these ultra-fast routers.
