I have an original-label Infrant (now NetGear) ReadyNAS storage
appliance that's been running for 8+ years. Except for replacing its
power supply, it has not skipped a beat in all this time.
I use it primarily as a backup device (via NFS) for a couple of Linux
machines, (via SMB) for a couple of Windows PC's, and (via ftp) for web
sites at my hosting provider.
SMART+ reporting shows ~75K hours operation, with zero sectors
reallocated, on each of the four disks.
I'm thinking I should be looking for a replacement, even with all this
good info/luck.
Would like to hear recommendations here. Besides the ReadyNAS, I have
worked with a Thecus NAS (don't recall model). What are the features I
should look at?
Just closing the loop here. Thanks for all the replies and
recommendations. As usual, discussion went far and away beyond what I
needed for my decision--but I was interested to read all the messages.
For my home/home office solution, I've decided to stay with the ReadyNAS
line (the Model 204, 4-slots, for $370, with four WD Red 2TB disks). Was
tempted by the Thecus similar model N4800ECO ($100 more). The
even-more-expensive QNAP TS453 Pro model seemed more than I needed, as
did the Synology DS415+--and I was put off by a rather negative review
of Synology service).
