ReadyNas NV+ (v1) Upgrade Suggestions
Hello, I am a long time ReadyNAS NV and NV+ User, I upgraded to the NV+ SPARC after my NV died well before NETGEAR was involved, and have been happy with it since, I have upgraded the memory to 1GB,...
Your NV+ should be getting around 20 megabytes per second on large file transfer, not 1-2 megabits. Have you checked the disk health?
Any new NAS (including the entry-level RN104) will outperform your NV+.
If you are interested in transcoding with plex, get the RN214. If not, then perhaps the RN314 - it doesn't do real-time 1080p transcoding, but it does have lifetime chat support. Technical support (phone/CHAT) by the way is for brand new products purchased from authorized resellers.
You can of course repurpose the NV+ for backup.

Sorry to bring this back up, but has anyone used Plex Server on the 214 or 314 NAS boxes? I was reading about it and it seems transcoding is locked to 480p on the 214. Most of my media is 720p or 1080p and would like to steam it to my Laptop and Fire TV Stick at full 720p or 1080p. Thanks.
