Migrate from RN102 to...?
Hello All! I am hoping you can all provide me with some advice... I brought a RN102 diskless with 2 x 2TB drives in RAID 0 mode. Works a dream... Except PLEX. (I use RAID 0 to get maximum ...
The RN21x is the best NAS for video transcoding. It is spec'd to transcode 1080p to SD. That spec would be for H.264, not H.265/HEVC. Even the RN102 will stream 4K or 3D. I don't think any ReadyNAS will transcode either (apart from the 716 perhaps).
You can migrate your RN102 disks directly to the RN21x.
The RN21x is a quadcore, the RN31x is a dual-core. The RN31x is faster than the RN21x for operations that only use one or two cores. But the RN21x is faster for operations can use all four.
To complicate the decision further, the RN31x has a longer warranty and free lifetime chat support. The RN21x has the same warranty and support as the RN102.
