I have a ReadyNas NVX Pioneer edition purchased in 2006. Thats how I got started with LMS, I'd never heard of it until I saw it as an option to run on the ReadyNas. I stopped running my LMS on the ReadyNas when the power supply failed and it was out for a while. The Power supplies are hard to find, but there is a UK ebay seller that has them. I've had one of the 2TB Seagate ST3200 drives failed, but since I run it as a RAID array, I simply replaced it with a Seagate ST2000 2TB drive and it rebuilt the full array. The lesson I learned was to buy a second ReadyNas, I picked up another of the same generation from ebay for next to nothing with no drives. Added 4x 2TB drives and set it up to rsync from the first, it powers on once per week, runs rysnc and powers off. I also backup the content of the first ReadyNas via iDrive, they allow backup from a Windows share. I keep thinking about replacing the ReadyNas, especially since there are 5Tb drives that would have almost as much formatted space as my whole NAS, but then I remember that time my Western Digital 1Tb external drive failed... My criteria for replacing the ReadyNas(es) will be based on the amount of time it will take to build and replace the whole NAS and the size of a single drive. I'd be inclined to actually go with a NAS that could support say 4x/6x/8x 2Tb SSD's, and that can house say 16Tb. I've not looked at how to do that but have heard good things about the WD Red SSD. --------------------------- https://ctproduced.com < Creed Taylor/CTI/KUDU http://markcathcart.com/about Running LMS Server, currently 7.9.3 on Headless WIN10 System; music on Netgear ReadyNAS; Transporter(Living Room)+Duet Controller; Squeezebox Touch(Master Bedroom), (2x)Boom(Office, Patio), Radio(Guest Bedroom), Classic(garage), Duet(basement).
