Daisychain the Pro 6
Hi everybody, The ReadyNAS Pro 6 has 2 ethernet ports on the back, and I would to use them in "pass-through" mode. Where I want to set it up, I only have one ethernet socket available, and I would...
5 port 10/100 switch powered by USB (off the back of the NAS) ~ $25 -> http://www.zunidigital.com/?page_id=182
Or just search USB NIC on Amazon, ~ $9 and up. You could connect each NAS to a separate NIC using static IP's.
Of course Netgear makes a nice 5 port gigabit switch with external power -> http://www.netgear.com/business/products/switches/unmanaged/GS105.aspx#tab-techspecs (they also have the 'home' version, the GS605) but I prefer the design of the GS105.
All would work, switch would be preferable.
