Looking for a NAS box for Mom
Hey all, Mom has a desktop and a laptop I'm looking for a box that might both her and my life easier! Easier for me cuz right now, i'm battling a nasty virus on her laptop and it sure would be e...
Just stumbled on this:

and I suppose now have a better understand regards the netgear NAS option set.
In particular, am looking at the various ULTRA / PRO options.
Just one PRO option on the "Home" chart - assuming this is the PRO option referenced above?
UlTRA is however a different beast with 6 different options on the "Home" chart.
So, and per my eariler question, which upgrade paths are you recommending for ULTRA / PRO with consideration regards my being relatively content with my DUO? What for example am I missing? Sure, an open ended question perhaps since the answer is based on where I want to go but, because the recommendation to upgrade was offered here unsolicited, perhaps you see a compelling reason to jump up that I do not?
Okay, I'll help.
X-RAID2 is so much better than X-RAID because?
VOLUME MANAGEMENT is better because?
4+ DRIVES is better than 2 because? Sure, perhaps more storage space (assuming related to VOL MGMT if configured accordingly but that I assume impacts redundancy)
BETTER CPU / MORE MEMORY = better transfer speed? Very noticable?
MULTIPLE ETHERNET PORTS: support multiple networks? Perhaps better transfer speeds if you double connect into a single router?
FIRMWARE MEMORY: more apps? Are there apps avaialbe beyond those avaialble for the DUO that make upgrading more tempting?
