Why does anyone need movies on a raid? That seems like overkill to me.
If one of my drives crashes, it won't be the end of the world as I have
all of the backups on optical. I just keep track of what is where so I
can regen one as needed. But so far, after 24/7 use of nearly two years,
no problems. Those drives are sleeping 99% of the time. :)

WD Red have worked fine for me. I got a set of 4 and put into a raid. Had
one keep dropping out of the RAID and failing to rebuild but it turned out
to be a bad SATA cable rather than the drive.

Heck, your research is way behind. SSD's in NAS is a fact to my meager

True, any of the users are Linux-geeks that have 'dicked' with their NAS's
OS (f/w), but
still. I read it to mean that this is active ATM, if only on a limited
scale. Way above my pay
grade................ :) LOL!

What sold me most on the 5N was the ability to add a mSSD in the
accelerator bay, to cache data and speed transfers. I have a Crucial m4
128GB mSATA Internal Solid State Drive CT128M4SSD3 in mine. Once I added
that, the data transfers are crazy fast. Plus the drobo is 5 bays not 4
like the readynas NV+.

Oh! Holy cow! I guess I am still learning how to get my NAS to link up
on my LAN.
I've never tested, but do not think I see this performance. But then,
since completing my
10base1000 LAN, I have never really tested. Actually, I know not how. I
just move/copy stuff
from my desktop to my NAS, and it goes pretty dang quick! The NAS-to-NAS
backups at Zero-dark-30
take place at theNAS' own chosen/agreed upon speed. This I never quibble
about. Clearly I might not be
on top of this, but it all works so well for me I just don't worry about
it at all. I own/run these appliances that
are so much smarter than me, but still speak to me in their 'plain
speak' that I treat them as 'family.' Except for
Intel nic cards, my NAS appliances are the most reliable network
devicesI have ever owned.
I know that they use a Debian-based Linux OS so I do not dig into their
guts. No need to.
They just plain workand make digital life a bit better.
NAS-ON everyone!

The deciding factor for me was the hybrid raid. I mix and match
different sizes and it works just fine.
Before that I had a drobo. Great features but super slow performance.
Gave that to my brother in law as a gift and he uses that till today.
I don't think I could deal with traditional raid. Having all same size
drives would be a bear to upgrade. It's funny. Almost every bay in my
synology has a different brand, size and rotation speed. Everything
just works and works well.
If the synology ever dies I'm never going to switch to another brand.
Love the web os of synology and they keep on improving the interface
and adding features. I barely use most of them. I just have an
antivirus running and do torrents from the synology. I've set it up
with ddns so I can add torrents from my phone wherever I am and once I
come home it's sitting there for me ready to consume.
What more could I want. I also haven't used port teaming to double the
bandwidth to 2Gbps.

Hi Zool,
Yes, several in the ReadyNAS community seem to be moving to Synology,
QNAP, and,
others. Fine. Different strokes for different folks! Nothing more..
I've studied, thought, played with numbers, and decided to stay with my
3 ReadyNAS boxes until something serious happens.
For certain, Synology will be where I move to! All of my ReadyNAS run
24/7 and have
never dropped a beat in 3 years. I still wait for my 1st HD failure!
And, any data loss
I have suffered has been totally 'pilot error' (mine!). I'm good. My
NAS boxes are the PFM
part of my home LAN.
Best,
Duncan

Lopaka,
Never knew you had a ReadyNAS! Silly me.
How do you like your NV+ v2?
I started with a DUO-v1 in 2009. I can blame John Steinbruner for
that. I
have added an Ultra 2 and an Ultra 2+.
Just now I stay local. In the future I may off-site one of my NAS,
or, may
try a cloud backup location. For now, I
am very happy with my NAS's.
Everything I've ever learned about NAS has been viathe ReadyNAS
forum via
Netgear. Lots of really smart folk there.
