Ultra 4 Replication.
Hi Guys,
I want to backup my nas box to another netgear - current NAS:
Ultra 4, x4 2TB HDD's, attached to a 1GB Network.
I wanted the replication to be quick, i guess this would go over the 1GB LAN?
Can you please suggest a Ready Nas - want to keep costs low.
I can also buy from the US if the saving is there..
Thanks

- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredWell you could get another Ultra 4? Or if you have a bigger budget look to an Ultra 4 Plus, Pro 4 or maybe even one of the 6-bay units to us as a new main NAS. How full is your NAS currently and how much data do you expect to add?
- Your cheapest option is probably an NV+ V2 (around $350 diskless at Amzon US at the moment). But personally I would get another x86 platform. This makes the management simplest, and is certain to keep things in sync. Amazon has diskless ultra 4's for about $500 US.
- samukAspirantCurrently have 4TB of data... will grow by another 2TB max..
The NV+ i think only takes 2 disks.. - HERBIEOAspirantNv+ v2 is a 4 disk unit and supports upto 12TB

Well, with four 3 TB drives and xraid-2 or raid-5 you'd get 9 TB. Well above 6 TB he is expecting though, and the NV+ v2 matches the total capacity of his ultra-4.HERBIEO wrote: Nv+ v2 is a 4 disk unit and supports upto 12TB
