Best Expansion Unit for Netgear NAS
I have an RN628X unit and am looking to put an expansion unit to take at least 5 HDD's (3.5" SATA). What is the panels view of best options? TVMIA Bob
Thanks all for the comments - much appreciated
I think short term, I'll go for the multi-bit and then look to expand the NAS suite in due course

Adding a second NAS unit to your network would add better performance than an expansion unit and expansion units should have a separate data volume anyway.
I agree. It's also more robust.
Also, if you want to transfer information between the two NAS you might consider getting an RN500 or RN600 series (with 10GBASE-T) and add a multigig switch. This should outperform NIC bonding. Netgear's offerings for that are here: http://www.netgear.com/landings/multi-gig/
