RNDU6000 won't boot - faulty PSU or bricked NAS?
Hi everybody, I have a Ultra 6000 which has been performing flawlessly for about three years now. I recently upgraded my drivers to 6 x 4TB and that whole process went quite smooth. I lost some dat...
Hi guys,
thanks again. We looked at the PSU and everything seems to be fine; all the volts on the plugs are as what they should be. So for now, I have to be 99% sure the PSU is fine. RAM and disks themselves are fine too, so I'm gonna have to assume the NAS is bricked (motherboard, cpu, whatever). So now I'll to look into replacement options. And that's where I need your help. I know have a RNDU6000. So far, I have three options:
1. a secondhand Ultra 6 Plus (RNDP600U). Very cheap, but secondhand so no warranty.
2. a secondhand Pro (RNDP6350). Also very cheap, but also no warranty.
3. a new Pro (RNDP6000). A bit more expensive, but comes with I believe a 3 year warranty.
So my very first priority is the ability to transfer my current discs to the new NAS. My second priority is the generation and/or specs. Let's say to make things less complicated money is not a factor.
edit: I have looked at the RN516; but at around 700 euro, it's by far the most costly option. I can spend some money on this, but 700 is quite a lot.
What would you guys recommend?
