Have old unit - want to purchase new one
Hi. I purchased a 4-bay ReadyNas NV many years ago and still use it as our primary home network NAS. I've had the usual issues over the years, failed disks, problems restoring after drive replacements...

1. The 314 would be my preferred choice. A greater variety of add-ons will run on the 314. Also the RN314 has 2GB RAM vs the 512MB in the RN104.
2. It will require a backup/restore process.
3. Some users have installed things such as Crashplan but this is not supported. See e.g. http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=71675.
4. If you backup using Rsync you can choose to delete files on the backup that were deleted on the source. You can do this too on the NV.
