Diskless ReadyNAS 3200 in the US?
I'm trying to figure out why the 3200 is seemingly not sold diskless in the US. I've found diskless 3200's (RN12P0000) listed on quite a few European sites, but get the big goose egg on any US sites....
Ah that, makes a bit of sense. I totally get that Netgear doesn't sell diskless 3200's here in the US ... I'd just guessed that there was some sort of non-US version.
Now the real question is why they charge so much for their disks. And it seems that the answer is the age old, because they can. Though I'm still not at all comfortable reading yoh-dah's response that they are "Unlikely [to be sold diskless] as this is geared for the higher-end businesses." Why would higher-end businesses want to spend more on the same drives just because they're higher-end? Most businesses don't get to be 'higher-end' without making the very best use of every penny.
So it goes. I just hope that Netgear takes the time to reevaluate the pricing on these boxes.
