ReadyNAS as Backup/Restore source for Win Machines?
I need a single place to backup all computers in the house - and it also must be able to supply the image restore to all the computers too! (using Windows restore and the advanced option of getting t...
Reviews seam to reflect ReadyNas 316 is a MUCH better NAS than the ReadyNAS 102/104.
As mentioned, " Sometimes the NAS doesn''t appear in the networked computer list..." is a COMMON problem! - and that"s exactly what i'm trying to avoid.
We have a Xxx NAS at work and its shaky at best(it doesn't show up half the time either!
KISS! {KeepItSimple...} and speedy is fine with me... I wanta plug this NAS into the network, config a few shares on it thru its admin, - then go over to any machine on the LAN, open a command prompt and do a "Net View" and see ALL the NAS shares I just made. Then I want to actually test those NAS shares in WinExplorer, and drag about 10G of graphics to a NAS share, then go to another workstation and drag that 10G from the NAS share down to the local box... AND get at least ~40MBs thruput thru the LAN.
Hey, I can Drag 26Gig of graphics to a 2T USB3 WD Passport in about 6 minutes at about 60MBs transfer - Shouldn't a NAS be able to transfer at least 30-40MB/s ?
As a DBA and .Net Web/App developer sometimes I have to move around a 100Gig just to do some required application unit/debug testing!
Will a ReadyNAS 102/104 show up when I do "Net View" from a workstation on the LAN?
Can the NAS be assigned a Name? Can do a "Net View \\ServerName" and see all shares from it?
Can I open a C# StreamReader ( or StreamWriter) thru this NAS's file share on any Lan Workstation as:
FileStream MyStream = File.OpenRead("\\192.168.xx.xx\\PublicShareName\\FileName.Ext"); or
FileStream MyStream = File.OpenRead("\\MyReadyNasFileServer\\PublicShareName\\FileName.Ext");
I did find an a ReadyNAS 316 review:
"There are USB 3 ports on the back allowing you to add additional storage, however this storage will not be incorporated into the xRaid pool. That makes it a quick and easy way to add extra storage that doesn’t required redundancy, such as Ghost images, or Operating installer disk images, etc, and still have it available by SMB."
That's Nice! Do the USB3 ports allow sharable storage on the 102/104 series also...
First - FAST integrated Network sharable storage is required...
