The good news is most of the drives (actually all but 1) have over 6 months usage on them and they are still all functioning perfectly. They run pretty cool as well. I can get right at 100MBps via FTP or via AFP/SMB.

I backup everything to crashplan and am going to be getting another readynas pro 6 and install it at either my inlaws house or my parents house and replicate the hell out of it!
