a 3rd architecture? seriously?
I mean really, why? is it not confusing enough with 2+ sparc models and 9 x86 desktop models, that a 3rd architecture, which I am assuming will be requiring different addons and radiators releases...
I was initially surprised too.
However I know plenty of people who aren't passionate about network storage but might be willing to get some if it's reliable and cheap. This is demonstrated in that the Duo and NV+ are popular products. The Intel platform is great but too pricey for these users.
As for what lies ahead yoh-dah and chirpah have said on Twitter that RAIDiator 5 won't be coming to the Sparc boxes. Chirpa has added no ETA for x86.
yoh-dah's also said the RAID format is different so you can't migrate from another ReadyNAS platform to ARM or vice versa.
More info will likely be coming over the next few days or weeks as more people get their hands on the new boxes.
As a beta tester of the Duo v2, I must say that I'm very impressed with the device (though I still wish it had a display on the front). It supports 3TB drives (GPT and 4k sectors), Windows 7 and Mac OS X Lion from it's very first firmware release. A great NAS device for those who want cheap, reliable high capacity network storage.
