A bit off topic... are ReadyNAS devices built on a Debian core?

Yes, all of our OSes for ReadyNAS devices use Debian.

That datasheet is from when we first released the RN312.

The WD RED 6TB WD60EFRX is on the list (http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20641).

Do you have a different high capacity disk in mind?

The issue with some high capacity disks can be screws in unusual positions etc.

Not all drives are equal, but in a 2-bay you may be able to get away with more than you would with models with more drive bays.

Wow, there are 10TB drives available now. Amazing! One of those 10TB disks would cost multiple times what the RN312 cost though.

@scottalanmiller Every ReadyNAS model that has ever been released has gigabit ethernet ports.

If you're doing it for the capacity then a separate RAID-0 volume for each disk would be the way to go.

If a disk fails all data on RAID-0 volumes using that disk is lost.

I would still recommend using a redundant volume. If the capacity on a single disk is an issue then with a 4-bay NAS you can get 3x the capacity of a 2 disk NAS, using RAID-5 with 4 disks compared with RAID-1 with 2 disks.

I don't know who will be reviewing these..

I like my S3300-28G. The two 10GBase-T ports on the switch are nice to have.

Thanks @scottalanmiller

Hi,

This isn't new. We've had ACL support when connected to AD for years.

There is an article for this also for OS4.

These will provide an incredible amount of storage. Good to see that higher capacity drives are coming though rebuild times in RAID arrays are likely to be very long with drives of those capacities.
