Upgrade Question
I have a ReadyNAS NVX. I replaced the PSU twice all ready. I am looking into upgrading to a newer unit. I use the NAS to backup our family's computers and to stream hd movies from. Would the Ready...
In that case the RN214 would be a good choice. You could get new disks for it and use backup jobs to copy your data across to the new NAS.
Some video may not be in the right format or need subtitles burned in and need to be transcoded on the fly. You should consider whether or not you need that.
If you want transcoding (convert media on the fly so that it can be streamed to a client device) it can transcode some 1080p down to a fixed resolution of 480p.We have newer models than the RN214 i.e. the RN422, RN424, RN524X, RN526X, RN626X, RN528X and RN628X.
If you want a newer model you may wish to consider those as well. The 520 series and 620 series have very, very powerful CPUs and are a good choice for those that want to be able to transcode 1080p to higher quality than 480p.
Is the NVX working fine at the moment?
Do you have a backup?
Yes, the NVX is working and yes, I do have a current backup of it. I backup every week.

Thanks for that info, it is helpful. I will look into the 520/620 series and make a purchase by the weekend.
