A couple corrections and additions to your list. Note this is just the desktop NAS line, it does not include rackmount models.
The Pro-6 (RNDP6000-200) has an E5300 running at 2.6 Ghz. I'm not seeing a common performance benchmark that spans all these chips off hand, but I think the pro's CPU performance is likely similar to the RN42x. The RN516 is faster, and I'm thinking the RN52x has at least the same performance as the RN51x.
Q2 - If I wanted to upgrade or replace my Pro 6 which models should I consider.
- I would want to upgrade to a model which gave a good speed increase.
"Speed" is a bit fuzzy, because it depends on the task. Maximizing file server speed for 50 users is quite different from maximizing Plex transcoding speed.
My impression from your other posts is that you are likely more interested in Plex performance than multi-user loads.
The RN52x can handle 1080p plex transcoding comfortably, but stalls out at 4K. Users here have said the RN62x can handle a single 4K stream. Tne RN716 is faster still. Hopefully that helps.
