Thinking of Upgrading from ReadyNAS Duo - Best options?
I currently own a ReadyNAS Duo with 2x 1.5TB drives. (~1.3TB of usuable space) The only real change I made was upgrading the RAM to 1GB, as it was a cheap upgrade at the time and came highly recommen...
Here's an unofficial list of the CPU specs for the various ReadyNAS devices: http://home.bott.ca/webserver/?p=499
I would definitely look at the Ultra line (or Pro, if Active Directory is a requirement).
Ultra performance specs can be found here: http://www.readynas.com/?page_id=3962#Performance
You can see that READ performance is pretty equal across the board, however, the extra drives and faster CPUs can increase the WRITE speed quite a bit:
In a nutshell, any Ultra will saturate a gigabit link when reading, while only the Ultra 4+ and Ultra6 units can get close to saturating the gigabit link when writing. Of course, in order to achieve this type of performance, you need a gigabit network and a computer that can go beyond typical desktop performance (around 60 MB/s).
