    NETGEAR's New Nighthawk Has 10GbE and 802.11ad

    The NETGEAR ReadyNAS RN202, RN204, RN212 and RN214 all also use Annapurna CPUs.

    NAS mainly for ESXi 6

    The right model depends on things such as how many VMs you'll be running and what you use them for. 1 or 2 VMs for use in a home lab would be quite different to half a dozen VMs for use in business. You also have to consider how you will do backups and factor this into your budget. It's no good...

    Netgear Updates SOHO/SMB NAS Offerings At IFA

    We do have ReadyCLOUD but that is a feature targeted at the home user. It can't be used in combination with AD. We do have the Replicate portal for centrally managing backups between devices.

    We will be selling memory modules. 3rd party memory is not supported. EDA support is not there in the initial release, but it is planned for a future firmware update.

    Netgear Updates SOHO/SMB NAS Offerings At IFA

    The NV+ (v1) used the same CPU and RAM as a product we released back in February 2006. It was our flagship desktop model back in the day but eventually became a cost effective option as we introduced more powerful models. The NV+ v2 released in November 2011 replaced the NV+ and was our new cost...

    Netgear Updates SOHO/SMB NAS Offerings At IFA

    ReadyNAS OS6 already has SNMP as a feature. I think that might have been one of the features available from the very first firmware release, but 2013 is a while ago now. We do not have IPMI support.

    Netgear Updates SOHO/SMB NAS Offerings At IFA

    These are the most affordable NETGEAR ReadyNAS with 10GBASE-T ethernet ports that have ever been released. The RN526X is about half the price of the RN716X which SmallNetBuilder reviewed a few years ago. We've added a lot of improvements since that review on the software side including adding...

    [BTRFS] - urgent NAS bug - with Raid 5/6 parity calculations

    The BTRFS user base is continuing to grow. One of the biggest users of BTRFS, perhaps the biggest is the tech giant FaceBook. With their large requirements they've been able to greatly help development of the filesystem. EXT4 isn't much older than BTRFS, though EXT4 was a port of an existing...

    NETGEAR Introduces Orbi Wi-Fi Mesh system

    Most users would find the Internet connection speed is the bottleneck rather than having a huge number of Wi-Fi devices. Anyway that other brand you mentioned is dual-band so if you'd end up congested on the tri-band Orbi you'd also be congested on that alternative.

    NETGEAR Introduces Orbi Wi-Fi Mesh system

    But will you have all the devices in the same area of the house? Chances are you probably will have some devices connecting to one of the router/satellites and some to another of the router/satellites.

    NETGEAR Introduces Orbi Wi-Fi Mesh system

    The 2.4 Ghz band is quite congested in places so using that for connecting the satellite to the router was never going to be an option. One possible configuration would be to put the router in a fairly central location in the home. However it does need a wired connection to your modem so this...

    [BTRFS] - urgent NAS bug - with Raid 5/6 parity calculations

    Whichever system you use if you only store your data on one device then you have no backup. That's fine for data you don't care about, but for important data backups are a must. For our NETGEAR ReadyNAS we've been using BTRFS since 2013 and we are unaffected by the problem you've linked to...

    New NAS Recomendation ReadyNAS vs Synology

    I bought the same NAS back in 2009 (in fact, I bought two of them). The NV+ v1 uses the same Sparc CPU and RAM as the NV which was released back in February 2006. The NV+ is a great model but 10 years on from the NV's release it is showing its age. The NV+ was discontinued late 2011 (getting...

    Encrypt NAS or not?

    If you do what every user should and backup your data regularly then you shouldn't need data recovery. Data recovery may be unsuccessful and shouldn't be relied on. Of course if you backup data on an encrypted volume then you need to consider how the backup is encrypted...

    Backup Strategy - please critique

    RAID is not a backup solution. RAID-1 provides redundancy so that if a single disk fails you shouldn't need to restore from backup, but you should still have a backup (e.g. to a USB disk) anyway for obvious reasons. What you are doing is not what RAID is designed for and could lead to complete...

    Ts-251, ds215j or readynas 202

    We use the BTRFS filesystem in ReadyNAS OS 6. BTRFS is a great filesystem, especially when it comes to data integrity. We've got features such as unlimited snapshots and bitrot protection against media degradation. These are great features and assist with protecting your data, but backups are...

    Slow NAS speed

    You should use the fastest Wi-Fi standard that your clients support and use ethernet for devices that don't need to be on Wi-Fi if you want to achieve the best speeds you can.

    Don't Roll Into Trouble When Expanding NAS Storage

    I found this article is quite good. It is important to store your important data on multiple devices. Data recovery always has the possibility of being unsuccessful and it is not something one should rely on. Data recovery should be considered a last resort, should be used for e.g. attempting...

    Home Backup Strategy Ideas

    I would upgrade to something newer. The Duo is a great NAS but it's a very old model. While the Duo was released in early 2008, It's the 2-bay version of a product released 9 years ago. Rsync performance will be bottlenecked by the CPU. Also as you pointed out you can't run your preferred app...

    New fast NAS to replicate to another NAS ?

    Can you send me your logs from your 102 (http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/misc/how_do_i_send_all_logs) Depending on how you have configured it there might be some things you could do to improve performance. Are you backing up to a share on the NAS? If so, what are the settings for the share? Or...
