ReadyNAS® Pro vs ReadyNas Ultra Plus ??

What exactly are the differences between these two??

    The Ultra 6 doesn't even max out a gigabit connection so LACP would probably just provide the benefit of failover if it were available.

    It does make a performance difference on the Pro Business, but you need multiple client machines or a single client machine with a SSD and/or RAID array to notice it.

    Just opened my ReadyNAS Ultra 6 plus, and to my surprise found a E5300 (2.6 GHz processor) and not the advertised E2160 1.8Ghz CPU !

    Good for you! The E5300 is the CPU used in the Pro 6.

    Not good for me if the only reason I opened it was to upgrade the processor. Had already gone to the trouble of purchasing the same E5300 processor from eBay :oops:

    you can imagine the look on my face.....screw driver in one hand and paste in the other !









    only joking :neener:
