this thing is not designed for homeusers. thats what the 100 and 300 series are for (which are way cheaper). this thing is a performance-monster built for demanding business applications. and the price isnt as high if you compare it to similar builds from other nas vendors such as qnap or...

you cant. it will only work with the utility.

the new readynas systems use btrfs snapshots. it gets explained here what those snapshots do: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/btrfs-snapshots.html

would love to see a review of http://nexentastor.org/ :) im using only netgear nas systems (3 of them), no DIY stuff.

the sata 3 thing is not an issue as it will run just as well on sata 1 or 2 ports. wd seems to be very interested to have the drives certified with all major soho nas manufacturers, so there is hopefully no big compatibility problems like we had on the greens (600k+ loadcycle counts in less...

must have been a stora. that would be the only thing that would fit the description. and that thing as nothing to do with the readynas/readydata family of products :)

thats internet speed. so that speedtest is useless.. 75 megabit is roughly half of what you can see on a good 300mbps wifi connection on the lan. so if all you do is test the internet you will probably never notice issues. your wireless could be dropping/restransmitting frames like crazy and...

very good post. :) for those that cant afford the cwna course, you can also read http://www.amazon.com/dp/0470438908/?tag=snbforums-20 which will make you understand a few things like 802.11 frame retransmits and framecorruption. it is 700+ page book though so i wouldnt consider this "light"...

that shows ip packets lost, not 802.11-frames. you wont be able to see that unless you either have a wifi protocol analyzer or your ap/router supports displaying such stats. a benchmark would also show this. a jperf benchmark through a good 300mbps wifi connection ahould get you...

needed it for my job, so company paid :) but it really teaches you everything there is to know about wireless.. most people think they know how wireless works while in reality they dont. i was totally surprised on the amount of incorrect knowledge and assumptions i had amassed during the years...

if anyone is interested in hardcore knowledge behind wireless i can only suggest this: http://www.wirelesstrainingsolutions.com/onsite-training/cwna-training-classes/104-cwna-certfied-wireless-network-administrator after that you will know what you talk about, i promise. @tim i hope you...

well if there is a neighbors ap, your 40mhz mode wont work very well anyway as that ap WILL cause interference and framedrops and whatnot. what you will see is a rapid decline in performance and increasing packetloss. so sticking to 40 mhz mode wont do you any good in that scenario.

tim said "I downloaded a copy of 802.11-2012 (only $5)." this is ieee, not wifi alliance. wifi alliance only tests interoperability, not defines standards. ieee is for the standards and 802.11-2012 is a standard. so any device not falling back is indeed no longer 802.11 compliant.

the netgear readynas 1500 and 2100 are short lightweight ones which can be mounted in a 2 post rack (just 4 screws at the front).

i guess it all depends on what cpu is used in the nas. multicore atoms or better cpus should be able to squeeze those 100 mb out of the disks. i have one nas using a singlecore atom (readynas ultra 4) and one nas using a pentium dualcore (readynas pro) and both are limited by the harddrives...
