Is newer going to be better?
Last year, I posted here asking about the “new” ReadyNAS boxes. Several reviews I’d read echoed complaints about their OS. I have not yet purchased a replacement for my now 5-year-old ReadyNAS Pro ...
When we used the current unit in the work environment the main concern going in was if it would be fast enough for ten or so people to access files concurrently. That turned out to be a complete non-issue.
When we moved the ReadyNASBP to the house we didn't know if it would be able to stream videos and music to the four of us at the same time. That too never seemed to put a strain on the machine. In fact we tried to see if we could stress it and once had each of the four Macs stream four or five videos at the same time, but that worked fine too. These were a mix of both HD and SD videos, but still the performance was impressive. In daily use the instances where all of us are streaming even one thing at a time are infrequent.
If the 314 offers similar performance that sounds like a great option.
