Likely Readynas 3-series
Hello, I plan to upgrade from my ReadyNAS Duo that served me well for 5+ years running 2x2TB in Raid 1. Consider to buy 2- or 4-bay (or even 6-bay hope not) NAS and it is for home use with small o...
You could put a suggestion in the Feature Request & Feedback subforum.
You could also make a request at rnxtras.com (not a netgear site)
Thanks for a good and comprehensive answer!
A few follow-up questions.
1) Bit-rot etc. I read in the manual pg 27 that checksum function is
enabled on volume level, and then I understand on pg 40 that bit-rot protection
is set per share or even per folder. Then I wonder if turning on the checksum
function for the whole volume does not slow down it all, even though I may
use bit-protection only for a part of the volume?
1b) Also wonder if regular backup-up of a few Macs should be characterized
as too much “data churn” - and usually you would not care to do bit-rot protection on?
1c) In my scenario question is whether A (which naturally would have bit-rot protection on)
and B (which perhaps should have bit-rot protection off) should be allocated to the same pair of raid1 disks?
2) Good you emphasize the difference between disk encryption and network communication encryption. Those customers I work with over 1-2 years I thought
it would be simple to share a folder with common documents with over my own NAS, rather than using a hosted web-service. But maybe not a very good idea.
2b) How much would encryption slow down?
3) Internet web-page. For these years with my old ReadyNAS Duo I have hesitated with sharing photos or even a web-page over internet, since the Duo has been my golden archive. Just a gut feeling. Now with a new NAS and much improved security I wonder if this hesitation is still valid?
4) Good. I will look more into user-security.
6) Good I see that hard ware compliance sheet does allow 6 TB, although the Netgear comparison sheet etc only state 4 TB (while the new 200-series boasts with 6 TB).
7 new) Looking for good reasons to buy 4-bay rather than 2-bay. Yes, much cheaper to expand later on with 4-bay, but I would like to see something more, and perhaps is among the answers above.
Would be good with a follow-up answer before this forum pages are totally changed, any day :)
