Ultra 4+ vs Pro 4 / Any new products on the horizon?
Hello
I am currently running an out of warrantee NV+ and am looking to upgrade and have two questions.
1) Can anyone highlight the differences between the Ultra 4+ and the Pro 4 - they seem very similar looking down the spec tables?
2) I realise that Netgear don't publish product roadmaps for new products but does anyone have any info on new versions of the Ultra 4+ or Pro 4? I am very very reluctant to purchase a product that was first released in July 2010 in the case of the Ultra 4? Surly these units are due a refresh?
Any thoughts or advise would be very welcome. I am also looking at a Synology DS412+ as a similarly specced 4 bay prosumer unit.
Cheers

- The big difference is the warranty - 5 years for the pro, only 3 (I think) for the ultra 4+
Secure rsync backup (rsync over ssh) and ethernet teaming support are other differences.

The pro 4 is in the business category, the ultra 4+ is in the home/prosumer category.
I have no idea what Netgear's plans are, but given the closeness of CES, you might want to google on any Netgear announcements there. jebr wrote: Hello
