RN516 reviews needed
Hello, I am looking to purchase a new NAS and have read some mix reviews regarding the RN516. I would appreciate it if any RN516 owners could share their honest opinion of the RN516. Pros and Co...
I have had mine for 4 months. It works well as a music streamer with squeezebox.
I don't stream video in house so I can't comment on that.
My previous NAS is a NV+ and the 516 is a serious improvement.
The 516 has 6 2tb drives in raid 6 so I get around 7.5tb of useable space.
Backups from pc's are pretty good as long as they are not wireless.
Reviews from before firmware 6.1.6 ( Feb 2014 ) may have some legit complaints.
I waited until after then and have no problems. I am not utilizing advanced features, few add-ins. That may explain my lack of problems.
I have no complaints about setup or performance.
