COMPATABILITY CONCERN: If the PRO Series is becoming redundant and the new OS isn't being rolled out to them, I can also see a compatibility issue.
Example: Some of my clients have invested in multiple units. If one fails they can currently take the drives from one and then place into another UNIT and away they go. This will no longer be possible if they invest in the Newer Models. The drives in newer model can't be placed into the older should something go astray. In turn they are left with a "mish mash" of NAS technologies. Not good at all and a very poor decision by Netgear not to look after their dedicated clients who have stood by them over the many years. Its also embarrassing for us resellers who recommended the PRO series based on support, future updates and compatibility. What are Netgear thinking leaving their PRO series users hang out to dry! I am 100% certain, my clients won't be buying the newer models down the line. Why would they!
