ReadyNAS 200 series

I guess it depends on the location, they usually release it in the US first.

Next month, I think.

What particularly attracts you to the 200 series?

The 200 series sits in between the 100 series and 300 series. Have you considered the 300 series?

Hi,

I am looking for the lowest possible power consumption, but with high performance also. (I'm a bit of an ARM fan, so I'd also rather get the one with the A-15).
The 100 sounds good for the price, but I'd like more power, and I was going to get a 314 until I heard the 200 series was announced.

The 200 seems to sit in that sweet spot.

Thanks

James

200 series uses ARM.

There's actually a big improvement:

RN100
CPU: Marvell® Armada 370 1.2GHz
Memory: 512MB DDR3
Max Capacity: 2BAY 8TB / 4BAY 16TB


RN200
CPU: Annapurna AL212 ARM Dual Cortex A15 processor
Memory: 2GB DDR3 SDRAM
Max Capacity: 2BAY 12TB/ 4BAY 24TB

Any idea on the UK price on the RN202?
I see it says the MSRP is $360 (http://www.anandtech.com/show/8900/netgear-launches-arm-cortexa15based-readynas-200-series) which puts it just below the RN312( $382 on amazon.com) so around £200-£220?

Sounds about right, but it will depend on the retailers on your region.

It sounds to be a perfect balance, and it seems excellent performance. I'd prefer an ARM platform too, however, I would like to see real world data for power consumption and performance.

And of course, UK availability date and price still very much anticipated.

Very curious myself.

The 104 has a great price, but the CPU/RAM combo is completely anemic.
