Some advice for a prospective buyer
I'm about to pull the trigger on purchasing a ReadyNAS Ultra4 with a few 2TB hard drives to fill it up, but was hoping if someone would be able to give me some advice and do some expectation managemen...
Ooops - forgot to add some other requirements.
Seeing as how my File Server has gone through two failed hard drives, I know that hardware fails, and I back up the data on the file server to an external hard drive, plus burn really critical stuff (wedding photos, etc) to DVD for archiving. I'm pretty sure that the sales-speak on the ReadyNAS website says so, but just to make sure - it's easy to recover from a failed hard drive with these devices, with no loss of data, right? And since I won't fill up the entire ReadyNAS with 4 drives at once, it's easy to just slide in a new drive to expand capacity with a minimum of fuss?
