a 3rd architecture? seriously?

yoh-dah's also said the RAID format is different so you can't migrate from another ReadyNAS platform to ARM or vice versa.

Awesome! Can't wait for the dozens of future threads on how to migrate from duo2/nv+2 to ultra/pro!

More info will likely be coming over the next few days or weeks as more people get their hands on the new boxes.

Sure but none of that will change the fact that development resources are now split across 3 architectures, assuming this is not the death blow to sparc devel. And while I'm sure we all expect sparc support to stop eventually, it still leaves resources split between ARM/x86.

It supports 3TB drives (GPT and 4k sectors), Windows 7 and Mac OS X Lion from it's very first firmware release.

well that should be a given, if it didn't it would be dead in the water.

A great NAS device for those who want cheap, reliable high capacity network storage.

Well no doubt they will sell a ton at those prices, and then eventually we will hear all the complaints about how crippled they are compared to the other devices and not directly migratable to x86 devices or compatible with x86 addons. /pity the addon devs having yet another arch to support (or not support).

But then again, maybe we are wrong thinking that x86 is the future, perhaps ARM will take over all the high end devices as well.. :rofl:
