ReadyNas Pro 6 Upgrade Recommendations
Hello, I currently use a Pro 6 (4.2.26), with 6x3TB drives using X-RAID2 (with dual redundancy). I'm nearing 70% capacity and I'm trying to plan for my next upgrade path. Any advice and answers you...
Thanks StephenB, you make some good points. 2TB does buy me some time.
Another option I've been reluctant to post here (in the Netgear forums) is getting an 8/12 bay Synology when the newer models are announced. For the money I'd spend on new 6TB drives, I could instead put towards a larger capacity NAS with a lot more room for future growth and keep my current drives.
OR I could go with an RN516 w/an EDA500. Do any of you have much experience with this setup? Personally I would prefer a single, larger device over a smaller device w/expansion if I'm buying something new. But that's just a preference thing.
I wish Netgear made a larger capacity desktop NAS. The more I think about it the more I lean towards the Synology option. (My goal by stating this here isn't to incite a Netgear/Synology debate, but rather inform Netgear there is a need/want in this market space)
But like StephenB pointed out, I still have some time. Prices and compatibility will definitely help me with my decision when the time comes.
Thanks for everyone's feedback!
