If not, can you advise a product that I can use to replace the RN424 if and when I need to?
Netgear seems to be quiet-quitting their NAS business, so likely not a ReadyNAS unless I see a used one that would serve.
Alternatives I'll explore when-and-if the time comes include
- Synology
- QNAP
- Asustor
Another option I'll look at is to just get a USB enclosure, and connect it to a PC.
Though I'm not actively trying to sort this out today - the landscape could be quite different when the time comes.
Thank you for the replies. At least there is no rush for me to migrate.
My RN424 is currently running 6.10.7. Is upgrading to 6.10.8 safe? Normally, I would just do the upgrade, but now, with limited technical support for an end of life product, I want to make sure that this upgrade is solid before I perform it.
thanks again
