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.

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.
