Any new Pro 6 X86 models suited to media management ?

Hi,
I'm interested knowing if Netgear plan to release soon new X86 ReadyNas models, especially replacement model for Pro 6 Business models ?

If so what are the expected new features and specs ?
I'm interested in new models with high horse power suited to media transcoding and huge library management.

Thank you and regards

NetGear does not announce their plans for new ReadyNAS models.

The Pro 6 (RNDP6000-200) can transcode 1080p video.

Thank you mdgm.
I already own Pro Pioneer (V1 ) and i'm quite satisfied.
Wait an see to choose an hypothetical new model or RNDP6000-200.

The Pro Pioneer will do 720p fine and perhaps some 1080p but to be really sure it'll do 1080p best to have a Pro 6 or some newer faster product that could be years away from release or very close.

Well we can only speculate. Pro was released late 2008, Pro 6 was released late 2010, so maybe late 2012 but we'll have to wait and see.

I will most likely depend on the availability of the chip. The Pro (Pioneer and BE) had the Intel Pentium Dual E2160 with a clock rate of 1.8GHz. Passmark rates it a 1022. The Pro 6 has the Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300 with a clock rate of 2.6GHz. Passmark rates it at 1723 slightly better than the 2.66GHz C2D E6750 in my current desktop which is rated by Passmark at 1671.

The Pro 6 is the flagship of the desktop line and I would only see an upgrade in the processor under two circumstances - 1) Intel no manufactures the E5300 or 2) a competitor installs a processor that would give it a distinctive advantage over the current Pro 6 (RNDP6000-200). Of course there is no more Pioneer, it is now the Ultra 6 Plus.

We will only know about a new Pro 6 when it is announced in the announcement sections of this forum and on the ReadyNAS website.

Thank you PapaBear.
According to http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_Dual-Core E5300 seems discontinued since Feb 2011.
Perhaps a good circumstance for Netgear to upgrade soon the Pro.
However I hope so !

Err, no, not really...


1. You're confusing retail desktop processors with OEM/embedded version; Intel clearly says there is an embedded option: http://ark.intel.com/products/35300/Int ... 00-MHz-FSB)
Those versions tend to be available as long as demand is there and we can certainly say it is there.

2. The current Intel E5300 in Pro 6 is a dual-core 2.6GHz CPU built on Wolfdale, it offers PLENTY of power (think of Core 2 Duos): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfdale_(microprocessor)

3. This is even better demonstrated if you consider that all top models of competing NAS brands come with Atoms, a substantially less powerful CPU and they are doing just fine. As a matter of fact they are doing so fine that it's unlikely to change: even though competitors will soon release their newest offerings (eg QNAP) I'd wager a serious bet that their new models will be still based on the latest Atoms (Cedar Trail) which are still perform well below of the E5300: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5273/inte ... 12-netbook

AFAIK RNDP6000-200 is the new model since last year, sporting the aforementioned E5300 processor.
