Latest Generation ReadyNAS
I just received notification that my current ReadyNAS is end of life (last OS update). This is the second device that I have had that made it to End Of Support. What is the latest model and what...
RAIDiator-x86 4.2.x firmware was first released back in 2008 with the launch of the ReadyNAS Pro over 7 years ago and the latest firmware for this model is 4.2.28.
With any product there comes a time when the updates stop. It's unfortunate that this has to happen and when any vendor makes such a decision there is understandable disappointment.
In 2013 we made a revolutionary change with new products with a new OS and a different filesystem. This is the kind of major change that would be made very rarely.
Our latest ReadyNAS products run the same OS as the products we released in 2013.
My unit is relatively new, so I'll be getting at least five more years out of it before it goes EOL if 7 years continues to be the norm moving forward. Still, though, my grievence remains. There is no list of anticipated EOL dates for the ReadyNAS product line. I have found Microsoft's transparency in this regard to be very helpful over the years. Publishing these projections would help consumers make better purchase decisions.
