ReadyDLNA and ReadyNAS 2100: No GUI?
I've got a ReadyNAS 2100 with the most recent RAIDiator 4.2.17 Firmware installed. Now I've tried installing the ReadyDLNA-Service, as I did not see an option in FrontView to configure DLNA (althou...
Thanks mdgm!
I understand that most business users won't need streaming services. The reason I specifically bought the 2100 is primarily ECC-RAM. Unfortunately, only the rackmount-devices do feature ECC; with other manufacturers (Synology, Thecus etc.) even rackmount devices use non-ECC RAM, which is a no-go for companies or persons looking for data safety. I don't understand why this topic is so underestimated; people use RAID-6 and do weekly scrubbings, when a simple, single memory error can destroy the whole filesystem in the worst case. Offering rackmountable business class storage without ECC is - in my opinion - grossly negligent. Thankfully, Netgear uses ECC in this type of devices, but I'd wish that one could optionally equip consumer-level storage devices with ECC, too. Unfortunately, the widely used and therefore cheap Atom- and Core2-processors don't offer ECC-support in their chipsets.
I'm not really satisfied with the performance the 2100 offers, but the more advanced ReadyNAS with ECC are simply not affordable.
