ReadyNAS 316 Worth Purchasing?
Newegg has a deal where I can purchase the ReadyNAS 316 and a 4tb drive for $558. This seems like too good of a deal to pass up. Currently I'm using a Dell PC as a media server (Plex/Kodi) and have ...
It is one of the Os 6 platforms - which is the most recent ReadyNAS OS. So I think it is a safe purchase. However, I don't work for Netgear and I have no inside info on upcoming launches.
If you plan to run plex, another option would be the RN214 (which was just released). But at current newegg pricing, the RN316 is a better deal.
At this point I don't plan to run Plex from the NAS... though that could be a possibility in the future. I'm going to still run it from the Dell (I have a backup server running on my iMac also). I do worry about the speed of transfer of the media files from this system. I guess I'm still just a bit confused over NAS systems. I'm quite the geek when it comes to technology, but hot swappable NAS systems are still new to me and I'm working to figure out what I want out of it beyond storage... and backups.
