Upgrading NV+ to RNDP4000

Dears all

I have a option to buy a ReadyNas RNDP4000

I have not so much information about it. 

Is a very old model ?

are there big differences with my old NV+ ?

Do it use the new OS ?

 

thanks

    This is also known as the ReadyNAS Pro - it was replaced in 2013 by the RN500 series.

     

    So it would at least 5 years old.  It normally runs OS 4.2.31, but it can be converted to OS 6.

     

    Your NV+ disks are formatted differently from the pro, so you can't migrate your disks over - you'd need to do a factory reset/start with an empty volume.

        The current RN52x ReadyNAS have 4 GB of error correcting memory, USB 3.0 interfaces, and at least one 10 gigabit ethernet interface. 

         

        The pro comes with 1 GB of memory (not error correcting), USB 2.0, and gigabit ethernet.
