difference between a Readynas Pro 6, Pro 6 Business Edition or Pro 6 Pioneer Edition
I am looking to buy a used 6-bay readynas Pro. How can I tell what I am buying just by the appearance of it? The model numbers are all over the place and I have no clue which is which.
Thanks

They are all of form RNDP6xxx-y00
The xxx relates to the number and size of the disks (if disks were purchased from Netgear). The "y00" relates to the hardware version: -100 was the first generation, -200 was the second generation.
There's also the Ultra Plus (which had the same hardware). Those part numbers were RNDP6xxU-200.

RNDP6630-100These are all first generation Pro products (e.g., the Business Edition). The CPU is an E2160 @1.80GHz (the -200 products use a faster E5300 @2.6Ghz)

Yes, this is the Pro pioneer. The hardware for the Pioneer and the BE is the same. The Pioneer does lacks some software features, including iSCSI, Active Directory and NIC bonding. If you choose to convert them to OS-6, they'd have the same feature set.
The x86 platform to avoid is the NVX, as it can't be converted to OS-6.
