readynas pro 12TB is full of movies
My Readynas pro is full of movies. I have need of a new NAS so am looking at all the options. I bought the pro a few yrs back as it was said to be the fastest at the time. I have never had it miss a b...
I also have three ReadyNAS connected to my home network (a Pro 6 as primary storage, and a Duo v1 and NV+ as backup). They co-exist nicely - I can reach all three from any PC, and also can access them all over the internet.
Would you would be using both units are primary storage? If so, all you would really need to do is map drive letters to the relevant shares on both units on your PCs, and you would get connectivity. On TVs where you are still using DLNA, you will see two DLNA servers (which is not ideal). Maybe you could host a DLNA server on one of the media PCs that covers both units, and turn the NAS dlna servers off?
As far as I know there is no way to set up multiple NAS as a single volume. So you will want to think about organization of your media across the units, since you will want navigation to be intuitive.
BTW, how do you manage backup?
