Questions about the ReadyNAS 424
I am new here and am concidering getting a Netgear ReadyNAS 424. I currentley have a Asustor AS-5004T and want to upgrade it to something better what must incldude native windows based Fil...
Thanks for your reply; in reponse:
1) Why would you say to consider the RN426, RN428 and the RN520 series if I want the option to upgrade the RAM and then say that you don't support upgrading the RAM in any of the desktop units. Are the units/series mentioned above not classed as desktop units? Also, how much RAM does a NAS box need when one person is using it like a local drive plus for some general backup stuff?
2) That's all and well, I don't know that much about DFS as have yet to have a DFS compatible NAS box. Is DFS replication possible with ReadyNAS OS?
5) Can one use a conventional alphanumeric password to encrypt a volume/share rather than a USB Key?
Regards: Elliott.
1) You can upgrade the memory in the RN426, RN428 and RN520 series even though it's not supported. For most users upgrading the RAM should only have a marginal benefit. All the models you and I mentioned are desktop units. We do have some rackmount models that we sell memory modules for.
2) DFS Replication is not possible. There are a number of ways you can backup your data though.
5) No. The encryption key is stored in a file on a USB key.
