Replace my old NetGear NAS with what Brand now that NetGear is out of the NAS game???
Now that NetGear has left the building and abandoned the NAS, what to do? Older machines like my ReadyNAS Pro 6 are getting slow. Even when I upgraded it with OS6 and capacity (I am running 76TB)...
Why not just go with a newer model of ReadyNAS which has better performance than your Pro 6. They are easily found on eBay. I am using RN516, RN716 and RN626. All are excellent and I have had no issues. Currently using 10TB drives in each machine.

That is an option, as long as you are ok with:
- Purchasing used, and therefore having no warranty
- No software support from Netgear.
- Software built on Debian 8 ("Jessie") which has been deprecated/archived.
- Getting a ReadyNAS platform that was launched over 5 years ago.
