ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Plus vs RNDP2000

[blueray1]

Warranty replaced my ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Plus (RNDP200U) with model RNDP2000-100NAS. What are the differences? Will the TiVo server still function in in the RNDP2000? Photos II?

Thanks

Pro 2 (RNDP2000) is a business model and has business features (e.g. NIC Teaming/Bonding, Windows Domain integration, Rsync over SSH) and a 5 year warranty (however since your unit is a replacement under warranty I believe your original 3 year warranty would continue).

It will do everything your old unit could do plus more.

Thanks for the info. Will it be safe to just move my data disks from the Ultra 2 Plus to the RNDP2000 and boot? -Or will the difference in model number cause me to loose data when booting in the RNDP2000?

Migration will work fine. They are both x86 ReadyNAS. See http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_migrate_disks_over_from_an_existing_readynas_to_another

If you have a spare disk (not from your array), I'd suggest you put that disk in the Pro 2, do a factory reset (http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_use_the_boot_menu) if necessary, update the firmware to the same version you had on the Ultra 2 Plus or later, then power down, remove the spare disk and follow the migration procedure outlined in the FAQ link above.

does the RNDP2000 support iSCSI targets?

Yes, the Pro-2 supports iSCSI targets as does the Ultra 2 (+).
