I will not go back to Netgear. The last one I bought did not even last a month before the crashes started. Thank you, Jon Harris From:[email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Jesse Rink Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2016 1:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] Opinions on reasonably inexpensive NAS storage In the past, we’ve used a lot of Netgear ReadyNAS models for cheap (sub $1,800) entry level NAS storage, mostly for the purpose of backup storage with Veeam. Been very popular in the past with our SMB sized customers. Lately some of my team/engineers have noticed various problems/crashes with the Netgear units so I’m curious what other options out there people have had good success with. These are situations where a customer doesn’t want to spend a lot of money of disk storage, so enterprise class storage is completely out. Think along the lines of, 4 or 8 disks, SATA, no SAN connectivity, just NAS… Thoughts? Jesse Rink Source One Technology, Inc. HP Partner 262 993 2231 Website |Blog |LinkedIn |Twitter
