ReadyNAS NV to ???
Lots of growth and I think we are slamming our ReadyNAS NV unit with 50 people mapped to it (probably about 20-25 heavy users). Can I get a suggestion of what model would be good for serving up files to an office of 50 people currently and up to 70 in the near future (1-2 years). Mostly office documents but some can be in the 50-100MB size range bif that makes any difference.

- Performance-wise, either one of these will do the trick:

If 4 or 6 drive bays isn't enough, you can look at the 12-bay 3200 or 4200 rack mount units. - If you are currently using the NV in an office space occupied by people, that location will be good for the Pro 4 or 6, but if you go to a rackmount unit, you will want to put it in a space not occupied by people (perhaps the utility closet where the network/telephone distribution panels are). The fans are designed for cooling not noise abatement so are noted as being noisy.
