Pro 6 vs Ultra 6 Plus
I am a little confused and don't really know which model to choose.
What are the main differences between the Pro 6 and the Ultra 6 Plus? I see that the Pro can be integrated to Active Directory and has a 5 year warranty while the Ultra 6 Plus cannot be integrated to AD and has 3 years warranty, but are there other differences I should consider? I don't need integration with Active Directory.
I currently own an NV+ and have been VERY happy with it. I am looking at expanding to more disk space and interested in adding some of the new services, such as ORB. I mainly use my NAS to share a network drive between the different computers at home (mostly OS X, but some Win too).
Thanks for your help untangling this!

Interesting. I I compare with:

...it looks like Ultra 6 Plus is just a little higher performer. Do I read that right?B52hbuff wrote: ...it looks like Ultra 6 Plus is just a little higher performer. Do I read that right?
Yes, however, those numbers are based upon a single client accessing the ReadyNAS. When used is a multi-computer environment, the Pro 6's ethernet teaming capabilities can deliver read performance of 240 MB/s and write performance of 140 MB/s.
From http://home.bott.ca/webserver/?p=363A single PC might not be able to max out the Pro, however, if you have multiple gigabit clients simultaneously reading and writing to the Pro, it will be able to keep up. Using 802.3ad LAG, the ReadyNAS Pro has achieved 240 MB/s read speeds and 140 MB/s write speeds when being accessed with multiple Macs.
FWIW, that information came from one of the developers.
