Jul 26, 2008 - That is a good idea and pretty slick ... but realistically if you have 4 disks and 1 fails, then the data is remapped to a 3x slice RAID5 ... you go from having 3/4(75%) disk usage to 2/3(66%) disk usage, then if and when you replace the disk what happens. The automated salvage of redundancy is a great idea though. I just hope it works, I have 4 750GB drives in mine, and expect to have lots of data on it. My big worry has always been the Windows part though.

Jul 26, 2008 - Have you seen the ioSafe R4 - an aircraft black box with the ReadyNAS inside... search for ioSafe on Youtube!

Jul 26, 2008 - This is a great box here. I've been using this as part of my domain in my home network for some time now. I use it to store my DVD collection to stream to computers in my home. I keep it hidden away safely in my basement. I'm running out of space now, but all I have to do to add more space is simply remove a drive and replace it with a bigger one. It will rebuild the volume for me. AWESOME!

Jul 26, 2008 - Coming from a you it makes it believable. Thank you...

gadgettts Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Thanks for the compliment! --- I really enjoyed reviewing the NV+ ... I actually purchased one for my personal use and we use a set of ReadyNAS 1100s for storing 'gadget'

gadgettts Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - I really like the X-RAID implementation. It makes growing the RAID so simple.

Jul 26, 2008 - can it run mqsql and php

gadgettts Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Out of the box... no... but it runs linux so..... We'll be doing a review of a Qnap box that does mysql natively.... check back in 10 or so episodes.

ripcore1 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - ok will do

vgerprobe Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - In the video it says that the ReadyNAS supports scanners. This isn't listed in the official product feature list, but neither is SSH and the newest firmware does support that. How is shared scanning supported? If it does do both scanning and printing I may try to get a couple of these for my office.

gadgettts Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - I used a Dell AIO with the NV+ ... I had access through the Dell control panel. I haven't actually tried with this a standalone USB scanner. I'll plug one in when I get back from CES and let you know if it worked properly.

arjunpatti Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Nice ... i ll be dam if this works for Scanner. Was looking for a good solution for network scanner

Jul 26, 2008 - DUde IM sure you a cool guy. I want to play only monocore designed games like civ3 and civ4. I bought the best Intel I could find A P4 cedermill(64nm 'conroe') 3.4ghz with 2mb L2 cache and 2gigs of ram. Will this handle mono based applications better then coreduo?

MRLX69 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - How's the noise on one of these things? I've heard from "Tom's hardware" review that the fan is pretty loud... would I be able to have it in the same room and sleep? Although Tom's hardware were talking about the nv, not nv+

tmourt Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Have you ever had any luck getting a Dell AIO to work with a Mac. I am running OS X 10.4.11 and trying to print to a 968 AIO with no luck so far, even tried some Lexmark drivers. Curious as to why no support when Dell has been selling some computers with Linux pre-installed.

gadgettts Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Hmmmm... not sure with the MAC. I don't think the virtual USB drivers work properly in a non-Windows environment. Lemme run a few tests on my end to see if I can get it working.

Jul 26, 2008 - WTF does this have to do with the jesuits!?!?!?!?!?!?!

gadgettts Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Oh... and after checking out your channel I can add one more reason... I add "JESUITS" to the front of all my episodes in order to push down the videos from hate-mongering, conspiracy-theorist, tinfoil-hate-wearing nutjobs who OWNED the "Jesuit" seach on YouTube before I started my work. Peace, Fr. Robert
