Adding in a 10Gbe card to 315 or 516....
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience testing out a 10Gbe in a 316 or 516? I saw an old post from 2 years ago about doing this in a 3200. There's a line in boot_info.log that has a variable n...
Just wanted to reiterate a few points:
Netgear did indeed promise an upgrade path to 10g for the 516. Netgear broke that promise.
You are paying for more than the hardware; it's an engineered solution. Search here for hanging problems with 6.2.x and draw your own conclusions.
I have a 516 with a 10g card, but 6.2.x is so unstable it's hard to quantify any benefit.
A pc case, mobo, hardware raid, 10g, cpu, ssd boot drive, and 6 drives for about half the price of my readynas. With linux it's solid and fast.
