Recommend a newer model of a Netgear NAS?
Hi all, After some recurring problems with my ReadyNAS DUO v1 (related to the system partition filling up with a log file and rendering the unit unusable until tech support bails me out), which the...
Thanks mdgm,
Funny enough I was searching online vendors and reviews to try and compare new Netgear models (wow, the market really has been saturated with choices since I first bought mine), and had was eyeing off RN31200-100AJS (312). As always with technology, I'm inclined to think that if did that much of an upgrade (ultimately just to overcome this log file issue), I may as well future proof a little more with a 4-bay RN31400-100AJS ReadyNAS 314, although both are a big jump up. Unfortunately I'd be faced with using my existing drives for a while until I could afford new drives (such as the Red series you mention).
It does seem like the RN10200-100AJS ReadyNAS 102 might be the right choice for me at the moment since it's quite affordable (+/- $160 for the bare unit). It comes with esata, usb3.0, and dropbox support (all nice bonuses) while fulfilling my primary needs listed above. I'd need a pretty nifty feature of a higher-end NAS to justify the cost at the moment (such as a permanent minecraft server to placate my kids, lol)
Any idea if these newer models are smarter about handling the system partition and log files that keep getting me in so much trouble with the SPARC unit?
