Is PLEX compatibile with ReadyNAS 420 Series
Neither ReadyNas RN422 nor 424 are the PLEX compatibility list. Yet PLEX is listed in the Add-on Applications section of the ReadyNAS 420 Series. If one also consider that RN31X models are on the PLEX compatibility list it looks really strange that the 420 Series is not compatible. Cannot understand if is only a problem of updating the list, or if there is some real issue. Does anyone know if PLEX runs on a RN424?Solved
RN214 or RN424 for RN104 user
Greetings. I am not a new user but it seems like this is the right place to post this question hopefully. I am a RN104 user that needs expansion and it looks like the RN104 does not support external expansion. I have read just about every post on the current model line so am somewhat up to speed. I have narrowed it down to the RN214 or RN424. Unless something new is coming out I missed? I use the NAS primarily for backup and for storing and playing HD and 4k self produced video files non-transcoded over gigabit Ethernet to a Minix device to a 4K TV. The RN104 works pretty well but does bog down at times copying large 4k video files from a memory card. I access the NAS shares via Windows explorer on a PC. Will the RN214 suffice or should I consider the RN424? I know about the X86 difference on the 424, but trying to figure out what the differences mean in my case. Would the RN214 be faster than my RN104? It looks like they both support up to 10TB drives? What are the preferred drives these days? I value the counsel of the forum and also the Netgear crew who I am pleased to still see posting here. The support from that group is the reason I am looking at another Readynas vs. another brand. Thanks, BJBSolved6.3KViews0likes19Comments
ReadyNAS 422 and 424
Hi all, At this year's CES, NTGR has introduced five new ReadyNAS products. ReadyNAS 524X and 528X as members of the RN520 Series. ReadyNAS 628X as the highest performance, largest capacity ReadyNAS desktop, completing the RN620 Series. The performance of these machines are amazing. They are positioned as the be-all and end-all performance data storage solution for businesses. In addition, the company unveiled a new class of products, ReadyNAS 400. The first series is ReadyNAS 420, with two models, ReadyNAS 422 and 424. Keeping up with the fine ReadyNAS tradition, the last digit denote the number of bays. The products were featured at Intel's Retail Breakfast forum, as a showcase of Intel's prowess in digital home. Intel chosed NETGEAR as the launch partner for the latest and greatest Atom, AKA, Denverton. There is a picture of the Intel conference, and the VP of Product Management from NETGEAR's Commercial Product Business Unit. https://www.facebook.com/groups/NetgearReadyNAS/ The product is at its final stages of pre-production. You should see them on the shelf by March. Best regards, Doug2.1KViews0likes1Comment
