I get it. You are a 'super-user.' Don't know about 'hybrid RAID.' I have
never tried to fully
understand RAID. It is one of those PFM topics! I use XRAID2, which I
suppose is Netgear's
own. Fine. I have no complaints ATM. My NAS are all 24/7, 365 since
birth. No issues.
Me, I just store files. I don't do video, torrents, photo-albums, music
round-abouts, etc.
I'm still a NAS-noob. But since 2009 and my first NAS, I am hooked.
My home LAN is NOT complete without an operational NASof some make,
model, color, flavor. I have seen the future and it lives and works in
my home.
Thankyou List.

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.

I've got five 4TB Seagate drives in a Drobo5N. All working well about 5
mos now. I have 4 WD 3TB reds in a ReadyNAS NV+ v2. I had 1 die within
days, but the replacement is fine. The reds have a better-longer warranty.

I have at least 10 of them running in my movie box. They work fine for

I want to get one or more 3TB desktop drives to store videos
on....either a Seagate or WD ... maybe a WD Red. I am really looking at
reliability and price point rather then performance. Anybody have any
issues with large 3TB drives?
