Upgrading to Ultra 6+ from NV+
Hello all, I am considering upgrading my aging NV+ and NV units to a Pro 6 or Ultra 6+. I had some questions regarding my potential upgrade: 1) Is there any file size limitation on Time Machine ...
I'm thinking of doing the same thing... but don't seen any responses yet.
In addition, I'm wondering:
1) Is there any way to take my existing drives (and data!) and just plug them into either a Ultra 6 Plus or Pro 6 and poof everything is just moved over? Or will I need to have all new drives (at today's post-typhoon/flooding prices) in the new unit -- and then figure out how to copy everything over?
I had nothing buy complete grief in copying everything from one NV+ to another and almost don't want to face that hassle again. Is is now easy to copy EVERYTHING from an NV+ over to either the Ultra 6 (or plus) or Pro 6?
2) I'm seeing Ultra 6 vs Ultra 6 Plus price differential at US$150. Is it worth it for a bit faster cpu? It's unclear that the Pro differential is worth it for a SOHO of a dozen clients accessing the NAS, and almost never more than 2 at once. Any comments on how to contemplate Ultra Plus vs Pro?
3) I'm not seeing any Pro 6 diskless units for sale and the populated units seem fairly pricey. Any reseller suggestions? (typically Amazon is cheaper than Fry's)
Thanks
