Picking the right NAS product
So I'm in the market to replace my Readynas NV+ that has served me well for 7+ years. I have been vary happy with it and have had vary few issues. With that said I have never been a big fan of Netgear products, and I am hoping that the people that created the readynas products before they were bough out by netgear has retained control over there products. I guess that is my big question, has the reliability of the readynas products suffered from the netgear buyout?

A number of members of our team have been working on the ReadyNAS products for several years. Some such as Skywalker started well before the first ReadyNAS was shipped.
Our business class products now come standard with a 5 year limited hardware warranty and 5 year NBD, as well as lifetime chat support. Applicable only to those purchased after June 1 2014. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/26066/~/readynas-support-and-warranty
You may wish to consider e.g. the 314.- thanks for your reply. I guess i have one more question. I have been using my NV+ as a print server. Will the new Readynas Products, including the 314 work as a printer server?
- You would need to use an app for that such as AirPrint or CUPS.
- Are they easy to use and manage?
The apps or the ReadyNAS?Uncluesteve wrote: Are they easy to use and manage? - The Apps
- Which apps are you interested in?
- I want to know if the Cups Printer server app is user friendly and easy to install and use.
- I haven't used that as my printer at home has Wi-Fi and AirPrint support.
If the CUPS app doesn't work for you you could try the AirPrint app
