(Yet another) newbie seeking help
I am not interested in creating a brand war here, but I am looking at NAS solutions from Netgear, Thecus, and Synology, and would appreciate any input on the latter two. Having said that, this foru...
NV+ is almost certain to not be updated to support 3TB drives. NetGear cannot help that 3rd party development of the Linux kernel for Sparc stopped well before GPT support was added. We're fortunate that they were able to add 4k sector support.
The NVX is a 32-bit NAS (all other desktop x86 ReadyNAS are 64-bit). I would recommend purchasing a Pro 4 rather than a NVX. A 32-bit NAS is still a fine choice.
You can backup using NFS, Rsync etc. It's best if the other NAS supports these as well as these are native Linux protocols, but you could use CIFS if you really had to.
You can start with a few disks and add more as needed. x86 ReadyNAS (e.g. NVX, Ultra, Pro) have X-RAID2 (see X-RAID2 in Action)
There are few expansion limitations at the moment but I wouldn't worry about these now.
