ReadyNAS Endless cost cycle
Ok I realize that once upon a time there were physical limits to volume size, Ive had the ReadyNAS, ReadyNAS+, And now have ReadyNAS Pro (6 bay) and a ReadyNAS Ultra6 and yet I am faced with STILL ...
The older datasheet (still accessible) has 8 TB for the RN312 (http://netgear.com/images/pdf/ReadyNAS_ ... 700_DS.pdf)
RN312: 8TB / 28TB
RN314: 16TB / 56TB
RN316: 24TB / 64TB
RN516: 24TB / 84TB
RN716: 24TB / 84TB
These numbers assumed 4 TB drives.
My guess is that they updated it to assume 6 TB drives, and have a type on rn312 base capacity (e.g., they meant 12 TB / 42 TB - 2x6TB and 7x6TB)..
If you scale to 8 TB drives, everything simply doubles, so the 516 becomes 48TB / 168 TB.
