Change ReadyNAS Ultra 4 to ReadyNAS 210
I've got an Ultra 4 today but thinking about changing it to a newer model. Can I just move my disks from the Ultra 4 to a 210 (RN214)? I need a version that can stream to Plex on PS3/PS4/mobile phone...

RN214 is brand new (released a few weeks ago).
I'd compare pricing with the RN314 and RN316 first. If the gap is small, maybe go with an RN300 series. One reason: lifetime chat support comes with the RN300 and above.
OS6 can use transmission for torrents (though I don't, so I have no recommendations on that).

Ok. Well, it might be time to change to bigger disks (got four 2GB today).
Is the RN214 a good choice? I can't find it in many stores in Sweden though. Is there a newer version around the corner..?
I assume there's a torrent client for it as well..?

Are their any other significant differences between RN214 and the RN300 series (besides chat support)? I'm also in the position to upgrade my current ReadyNas (Ultra 4) since it is now officially end of life. Considering that RN214 is just released it seems a good choice and more time before it goes end-of-life ;-).

Yeah, I'm thinking about switching to the RN214 in a near future. The 314/316 was a bit to expensive considering I have to get four new disks as well...

Yeah, the price diff is bigger than what I want to pay for lifetime chat support, which is why I'm interested in other differences that may persuade me to go for the 300 series. What can I do with a 300-series that I cannot with RN214 and vice versa?
