RN202/RN204 stability and longevity
I have a Duo v1 and NV+ v2, both still work. The NV+ was EOL'd shortly after I purchased it, it had a short shelf life, and software updates are appearing further apart now (it seems to me). The NV+ d...
Thanks all, I have read all about the consolidation previously as I have been on these forums for a few years now. I still rattles me (quite a bit actually).
I specifically want an ARM based unit, and even more specifically a Cortex-A15 or I should say a higher performance than the NV+/RN100 which are similar in that regard. I did see the review, although brief it does look very good for performance, but features of OS6 on that hardware platform are less clear. I guess I am simply concerned about the feature set, the performance looks perfect (transcoding capabilities noted, and not too important for me (yet)). There is really only one other choice for a Cortex-A15 powered unit, and I am considering that one too.
About stability. I recall a few months ago some concerns with btrfs, which is still relatively new in Linux world. Has any issues really cropped up, including recovery is needed? Any other issues affecting stability?
Does anyone have real power consumption numbers measured on a real system? Although this is for home use, it will be on 24/7, with idle spin-down etc. Oh, idle spin-down is supported, right?
Thanks again.
