Free drive offer and ReadyNAS Pro 6
Hi, I was looking a while ago at getting a ReadyNAS Pro 6 Diskless vs building our own NAS server, and the UK offer of the free 3x1TB hard disks swung it... however, I've just noticed the offer fin...
Could you post that link?
The original Pro, only available as a 6 bay model was the RNDP6000-100 (NAS in the North American market, other three letters in other markets). It had the E2160 1.8GHz CPU. When Netgear revamped the lines last fall, the new version 2 of the 6 bay unit in the Pro line is now called the Pro 6 and has the E5300 2.6GHz CPU. The model for the diskless version is now RNDP6000-200xxx (again xxx would be NAS in the North American market.) The Pro 6 is now joined by the Pro 4 (replacing the NVX BE) and Pro 2. The Pro 4 has the Atom 510 1.66 GHz processor and the Pro 2 released later has the Atom 525 1.8Ghz processor.
The Ultra 6 Plus is basically the hardware of the old Pro but does not have the business features and has the 3 year consumer level warranty. It has the E2160 1.8Ghz CPU. The diskless model number is RNDP600U-100xxx.
Some retail websites may have just not updated their listings, and they may also still have old stock of the Pro available. I know that some months back some sites were still listing the NVX (32 bit unit discontinued in favor of the 64bit Ultra series) and for a price higher than they were asking for the newer Ultra series.
eAegis used to have just about the best prices, but they no longer seem to promote Netgear (they still carry them, you just need to enter Netgear in the search box) but Newegg now has better prices. They no longer have the -100NAS but eAegis lists both, but the -200NAS has a higher price. Their price for the -100NAS is only $5 less than Newegg is asking for the newer RNDP6000-200NAS. Almost all my computer items come from Newegg because they keep you informed and they ship quickly. Even with standard shipping my orders rarely take more than 3 business days to my home.
