Help! Ultra 6 or Pro 6
Hi. Welcome some honest advice. I have a Sparc NV which has saved me amazingly well - currently loaded with 4x WD Green drives. Just starting to feel a bit slow when loading up 5gb HD movie files...
While some are wishing for a Pro 8, that would be a radical departure for the ReadyNAS which has never produced an 8 bay desktop unit. The vibration from 8 rotating disks could be a problem, it is in the 12 bay rack mount enterprise models. That is why only drives with Rotational Vibration Safeguard are approved for use, and they are typically at least twice the price of consumer grade drives. Heat dissipation could also become a problem which would lead to a noisy unit.
