Is this a good setup? [Pro 6 + drives + switches]
Hi, We are replacing an older, sparc-based NV+ on our network. Here's what I'm considering: (1) ReadyNAS Pro 6 diskless (4) WD RE4 WD2003FYYS 2 TB hard drives (2) Netgear GS116 (to replace...
Since you have a mixed gigabit/fast ethernet environment, it would be better if the switches supported 802.3x. The GS116T-200 switches do that, but I believe the GS116 does not.
The NAS and disks look fine. One option with the Pro-6 is dual-redundancy - which does slow down performance a bit, but gives you protection against 2 drive failures.
I suggest that you retain your old NV+ and use it to back up the Pro-6. [EDIT- looks like you are already thinking to do that...]
