Paul, Sorry, you are correct… during my rite up I mentioned several times the Ultra NAS, but only once ReadyNAS…. The unit is indeed the Ultra NAS which Ultra is part of NetGear's ReadyNAS line up.
I have the top end 4 bay Ultra NAS. Duel ether net sockets, iScsi, File Server, USB 3 x 3 and more. Like I say, in my view its half the price of the DroBo, accessible, quieter to operate, just as well made, has multiple plug-ins already installed and ready to go, e.g. Time Machine and iTunes Server et al… I think you get way more bang for your buck with the NetGear ReadyNAS line up… noting there's no DroBo exclusive on their Beyond RAID technology, NetGear have the same thing just labelled X-RAID. Which can use multiple disks of differing size and spin speed. Need more space, just remove the smallest drive, insert a new larger one, wait for the unit to sync up, and repeat where needs be.
