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 a lot again!
I want to round of this topic with a couple of questions concerning performance and stretching upwards.
1) I wonder how big role has the ECC RAM-memory for data integrity, which comes with upgrade to 5-series. I understand it improves somehow the bit-rot protection and more. Would be good with some brief explanation of reference to where it can be found.
2) I consider more use of PLEX for media handling which I today mainly do through a Mac mini in our network. I have seen in PLEX documentation that 3-series work well although here are some limitations around video-streaming. My idea is that I should continue to run PLEX from Mac mini but “integrate” ReadyNAS better with it and use ISCSI-connection or similar. Is this a fruitful path for readynas 3-series or much better to climb to 5-series?
3) I work regularly with VirtualBox on my Mac and seen that it can also be run on ReadyNAS at least the ones with stronger processor. Just wonder if 3-series atom processer can work with VirtualBox and appreciate some links. Or also here if you really need to climb to 5-series.
