Cheepy Nas Box
Hi, Another question.. I have a Ultra 4 Readynas - with 2 2TB drives. I was thinking of buying another cheap NAS and replicate data to this - Wanted to keep costs down to a minimum though...
True, but the current prices on disks because of the Thai flooding has changed a lot of formulas right now. Traditionally, an NV+ v1 diskless with enough disks added to cover the backup would be the cheapest route. But, right now, he can get the Ultra 4 with 2x2TB disks from Newegg for $717. The least expensive 2TB disk on their site is $200, so that make it an effective price of $317 for the Ultra 4 (w/o disks) which is $20 cheaper than the slower and less powerful NV+ v1. Of course, once the pricing on the pre-populated models catchs up, it will revert back to the other mode.
Or you can look at it the other way, you buy the Ultra 4, and the 2TB disks that are included are $78 apiece, but separately the will be $200 plus.
Currently the NV+ v2 does not support the NFS or rsync services normally used in NAS to NAS backups. Maybe because some of the low end competing products don't either.
