ReadyNas Pro 6 vs. newer 300 Series 312
So I currently own a ReadyNas Pro 6 (RNDP6310) that has 6-1tb drives in it. (I have it connected with a gigabit ethernet cable to a 3.4GHz Intel Core i7 iMac w/16GB of ram as well as accessing it wire...
Thanks for the quick reply mdgm.
Specifically why?
How are you imagining it falling short compared to what I may already know from the use of my Pro 6?
(I'm wondering how what you're claiming translates in real world use.)
And it seems I can bump the RAM up to 4gb if that would help level the playing field:
This exhaustive review on Amazon (of a 316, which I see you responded to) lends me some pause about the lack of instruction on getting these newer units up and running:
It seems that other reviews I've read mention how little documentation / how much time was required with tech support to get going. Perhaps now that we are into the new year some of this has been improved?
Anyone else out there want to weigh in on the new OS and how support for Apple computers or iDevices has or hasn't improved?
However the 312 is comparable to the Pro 2. Neither of these is as quick as the Pro 6, but considering your needs won't be quite as demanding as they were when you used the Pro 6 as your main file server the 312 should be sufficient.
