recommendation for home + home office, confused by options
Hi All, I confess to being quite confused by all of the various ReadyNAS units, and I'd like to ask for some help making an informed choice. I work at home, and have networked my office machines...
I must caution you not to be too enthusiastic about 'so many add-on's' for the ReadNAS.
Alongside each description for an add-on, it will specify either 'sparc' 'x86' or 'arm'. These relate to the different processor types found in different ReadyNAS'.
You will see that currently there are far more such add-on's for sparc and x86 ReadyNAS'. So, don't get carried away in the belief that all add-on's are available for all ReadyNAS'.
A list of NV+.v2 add-on's can be found here - viewforum.php?f=147.
Even so, this list is incomplete, as items such as Logitech Media Server isn't on this list, which is available here - http://www.mysqueezebox.com/download/
It also worth noting that iTunes Server, available for spark and x86 is yet to make an appearance on the ARM platform (even though the last firmware update for the Duo/NV+.v2 was last May).
However, such factors didn't didn't disuade me from recently buying my NV+.v2.
