GS716T
Just wanting to know if the Netgear GS716T / GS716t V2 (http://bit.ly/rIOmVy) is compatible with the Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 6+. It's not on the list. At the moment I have the GS116, and needing ...
Thanks for that. The Pro 6 costs a bit less than $300 extra here in Australia, which is not bad even for the home user to get the extra 2 years Warranty.
You are correct, for my use at home, most of the business features of the Pro 6 would go to waste. I basically want to use the ReadyNAS device as my centralised storage of:
- My home web development business data
- My compete iTunes library, for streaming to a future Sonos system
- My complete Movie & TV Show collection, which is forever growing.
I currently stream from a smaller server in my den to a Boxee Box in the theatre room. That works fine, so I'm not sure bout the 1080p vs 720p transcoding requirements, as the Boxee Box does all of that, it just streams the content from the network, no matter what the file type.
I'm going to buy diskless, and have already chosen a Seagate drive (http://bit.ly/rFNeKJ) from the HCL, which I can buy from an online store in the USA for about half what the cost her in Australia. So I can buy 6 x 3TB drives for the cost of 3 here in Australia. I've also already got a compatible APC UPS Back-UPS Pro to match it with.
What are all your thoughts on that?
Also, I what is the difference in the CPU between the two of them, I could not see a difference in the specs.
Again, many thanks.
Jason.
