Any new Pro 6 X86 models suited to media management ?
Hi, I'm interested knowing if Netgear plan to release soon new X86 ReadyNas models, especially replacement model for Pro 6 Business models ? If so what are the expected new features and specs ? ...
I will most likely depend on the availability of the chip. The Pro (Pioneer and BE) had the Intel Pentium Dual E2160 with a clock rate of 1.8GHz. Passmark rates it a 1022. The Pro 6 has the Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300 with a clock rate of 2.6GHz. Passmark rates it at 1723 slightly better than the 2.66GHz C2D E6750 in my current desktop which is rated by Passmark at 1671.
The Pro 6 is the flagship of the desktop line and I would only see an upgrade in the processor under two circumstances - 1) Intel no manufactures the E5300 or 2) a competitor installs a processor that would give it a distinctive advantage over the current Pro 6 (RNDP6000-200). Of course there is no more Pioneer, it is now the Ultra 6 Plus.
We will only know about a new Pro 6 when it is announced in the announcement sections of this forum and on the ReadyNAS website.
