ReadyNas NV+ "Kernel Panic"
Hi ReadyNas NV+ RND4000 wont boot, LCD just displays "Kernel Panic" I've performed the memory test twice as recommended in forum threads I've stumbled across. (hold down power button on power-u...
One quick point - one option you have is to buy a single NAS and back it up to the two NV+. That assumes that you won't have more than 16 TB of space on the new NAS, and use jbod on the two NV+. So you might not need 2 new units.
I don't work for Netgear, so I have no EOL information (if I were working for them, I almost certainly couldn't comment). The RN314 came out in March 2013. It's part of a much larger family of OS6 products, and you can migrate disks between the various platforms without data loss. That includes migration from the ARM RN100 series to the x86 devices. I don't see Netgear making this end-of-life anytime soon.
I've never owned a Synology, and I really don't want to compare the ReadyNAS I know well with the Synology I don't know at all.
Overall, I've found the ReadyNAS to be extremely reliable over the years - I have 4, and no failures to this point. So if I were looking for another NAS now, I would certainly start there. The one thing I don't like is the cloud implementation - performance is hit or miss, and there have been Netgear cloud apps that weren't maintained (for instance ReadyNAS photos). They need to fix that (and I think they know that).
