Duo v2 & NV+ v2 Official iSCSI support in future release ?
Hi, will the new arm based nas's get official iSCSI support in a future raidiator update? Also does anybody have a timeframe for nfs support which I believe is forthcoming. I couldn't see anything ...

pmcq, I would take issue with that quote attributed to a tech support rep.
Firstly I don't know the context in which it was given. A statement taken out of context becomes a pretext.
Secondly it's quite clear from the ReadyNAS comparison charts (http://www.readynas.com/?cat=49) what the feature set is.There are more features planned (one or two are even mentioned in the comparison chart!). There are more services coming.
Thirdly if you're not happy with the feature set, then get an Ultra like I suggested. It's more powerful and has the features you want.
Fourthly while I can understand some people being upset to find features from the Duo (v1) or NV+ (v1) not present in the early firmwares at least for the v2, iSCSI was never a feature of the Duo (v1) or NV+ (v1).
Fifthly, there is AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) not just CIFS. Of course if you don't have a Mac, then you have no use for AFP.
Sixthly it can be difficult to estimate how long it will take to add additional features. If you are familiar with the command line there are ways via SSH to activate some features reasonably easily.
