Pro 6 Long in the tooth vs. Bleeding Edge Gums
Any word on when the Pro 6 will support USB 3.0, Sata 6.0 GB drives, and the new Seagate Barracuda 1TB-per-disk technology (3 TB ST3000DM001)?
The Pro 6 already supports USB3 drives just as USB2 speeds. Likewise it supports SATA III (6Gbps) drives at SATA II (3Gbps) speeds.
The Pro was released late 08, the Pro 6 late 2010, so maybe late 2012 for a 3rd gen Pro? NetGear could decide to keep the Pro 6 as its premium desktop offering for longer than that. It's a great NAS. SATA III mechanical hard drives aren't going to saturate SATA II anyway and with lots of data I'd prefer to backup NAS to NAS rather than to a USB disk.
As for that specific drive it is not on the Hard Disk HCL.
