Yay or nay to the NETGEAR ReadyNAS NV+ 4 Bay?

NCIX doesnt have the Duo V2 on sale and theyre all 200+ atm.
Budget before drives at the moment is between 150-200.
Are you using the EARS or EADS drives? |
The downsides of making your own are: size and power usage. The Duo is so small and energy effecient.
Plus side though is you can run anything you want on it.
Don't get the previous generation one. Get the current V2 one. They now use ARM architecture and have faster processors as well it's still receving firmware updates and has a 3 year warranty vs the used one on craiglist which may even need a fan replacement. Apps are getting ported over slowly but surely. All I cared about was support for SABnzbd which has been ported. As well it has USB3.0 if you need to transfer. For roughly $100 more it's probably a better investment.
I'm using the latest drives: 2x WD30EZRX with my Duo V2
Currently on sale at $279.

You could also price beat at ME to make it $274 and save a few more bucks.
