    For a 6 bay, this is a great price. Usually $500+ for this model.
    If it wasn't Christmas, I'd nab one. And then wonder what to do with it.
    And store it away knowing I'd gotten a bargain.

    6bays but max 12tb???

  • [Deactivated] on 22/12/2013 - 12:46

    Seems it just needed a software update for 4TB drives from what I can see,

    http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=70222

    I had an older model and these things are very power efficient and reliable, also built like a tank, my iPad, XBOX360 both detected the media files and it can email you with system issues

    Also has a Transmission torrent downloading app which is controlled via your web broswer

    1GB ddr2? I prefer a 8GB ddr3 microserver then.

  • bowtiehoon on 22/12/2013 - 13:51

    waaaah…They are in qld…too bad i'm too impatient and tight to pay for delivery…lucky queenslanders…

  • t25 on 22/12/2013 - 14:32

    $31 to Perth.

      And $32 to Woodvale, just north of Perth, but still in metro area.
      Just ordered one, thanks OP
      $331 delivered is still a bargain

    An N54L microserver for $200 would appear to offer much better value (and flexibility)…and will hold six drives too…just sayin'…

    • [Deactivated] on 22/12/2013 - 15:18

      Where can you get an N54L for $200… Even without delivery?

        shopping square?

        problem is you have to hack a bit to get 6 drives in

        • dizitalart on 22/12/2013 - 18:46

          Do u have a link for this hack? I have one however never got around expanding it. Cheers.

        • fishandchips on 22/12/2013 - 19:07

          Shopping express.com.au, NOT shopping square.

        You'll have to wait until Boxing Day….$199 to be precise +$11.45 shipping (to MEL).

        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/127681

        And add delivery of course..

        6 Drives is straightforward - sit two in top bay (ideally get a Nexus double twin.. if you can find one), just need to add cables - route a cable from the esata on the back - there's a suitable hole already. And you need a power splitter. No hacking required.

    • cryptos on 22/12/2013 - 16:42

      This is a purpose built NAS with raid 6 onboard, for me the downside is only USB2 and no esata

  • muncan on 22/12/2013 - 15:27

    I will resist this time… still 1 bay free in my existing 4-bay ReadyNas.
    I'm hoping the continual rise in cloud storage and steaming services will keep pushing down the cost of self storage - and then I shall strike!

      Congrats

  • Mister Plod on 22/12/2013 - 16:22

    so a couple of probably silly questions:

    first, can this be used without raid mode; i.e with a mix of drives for plain storage?

    secondly, why does it have 2 ethernet ports?

    • Op54 on 22/12/2013 - 16:27
      +1

      Re the two gigabit ethernet ports, I intend one being connected from my theatre room to my computer room (Through Cat 6 wiring already in my house, to allow use by my PC and for transferring files to it fast), and the other port directly connected to my Dune 3 HDS media player gigabit port, as this NAS will be sat next to my all my theatre room gear.

      I am sure there would be other uses too.

    • cryptos on 22/12/2013 - 16:56

      Without raid 6! blasphemy, doesn't say if you can bypass the raid setup..

      Ethernet, redundancy, teaming? seems like an enterprise type feature, although listed as a home NAS, they have an online backup, perhaps one port can be dedicated to that whilst streaming DNLA thru the other? The possibilities are endless

  • brannor on 22/12/2013 - 16:43

    How does this compare to the ReadyNAS RN10400? I know it has 2 more bays, but is it the same year of release? the 10400 has USB 3.0, whereas this just has 2.0…

    Oh, and the actual OS / interface? Same for both?

    • vin021079 on 23/12/2013 - 02:45

      definitely 10400 series are better than this one. 10400 series running on OS6, and this one running on RAIDiator 4 which is only allow you to add up to 12TB HDD in those 6 bays & not more than 8TB Usable Space. I had this Ultra 6 and really disappointed with it even upgraded to OS6 (hacked to Legacy OS6).

  • jollster101 on 22/12/2013 - 17:51

    How does this rack up against a qnap nas? I don't necessarily mean in terms of performance as my dual bay qnap is only a budget model but are there packages such as sickbeard, couch potato, sabnznd available to maintain my headless existence?

  • OzBLover on 22/12/2013 - 18:45

    Can it run plex anyone know"

    • vin021079 on 23/12/2013 - 02:46

      Yes it will run Plex Media Server without any problem, either on OS4 or OS6 after upgraded with Legacy 6.0.

    • OzBLover on 22/12/2013 - 19:06

      Thanks mate. Think I am sold on this one. I have a Synology 212J at home but the ARM chipset is not powerful enough to handle trans-coding.

  • [Deactivated] on 22/12/2013 - 20:39

    Almost a full pc price, yet the power consumption is strangely high. It's not even that powerful, considering it's using old Intel Atom. HP N54L seems like a better deal since it's almost $100 cheaper than this one Or buy an intel barebone mini pc which is less than $200.

    • freesteakknives on 23/12/2013 - 11:21

      It's true that products like the N series offer good value however there can be quite a step learning curve. For those less technically minded a dedicated NAS is a good option. You get a device that is, by and large, ready to go out of the box plus in the case of Netgear you get quite good phone and web based support during the warranty period.

  • [Deactivated] on 23/12/2013 - 00:30

    Quite a few people are going to want this and to use JBOD with it (just a bunch of disks/drives). As far as I can remember, the rndu4000, which was on sale at computer alliance a while back CANNOT do this, forcing a raid on you. There may be a firmware update but I'm seeing the same lack of mention in the specs that I saw with the 4 disk model.

    • vin021079 on 23/12/2013 - 03:14

      you can use JBOD as long as the HDD are the same size or bigger, you can't put any smaller HDD. but no one in market has this feature, the only one i know that has this possible only drobo.

      • [Deactivated] on 23/12/2013 - 12:12

        I'm not following, same size or bigger than what?

        Also, do you have a source for the jbod feature? I would buy this if I knew I was going to get JBOD but our RNDu4000 does NOT do this.

  • here2rock on 23/12/2013 - 11:58

    This appears to be a very old model, I would have thought that a lot has changed in NAS technology over the last few years.

  • muncan on 23/12/2013 - 12:53

    Thinking it's nearly time to switch from RAID to MAID

  • here2rock on 23/12/2013 - 14:39

    Can you run iTunes on it and sync your iPhones and iPads?

    • vin021079 on 24/12/2013 - 04:24

      No, what you can do only run the iTunes Media Server, then you can streaming your media to iPhone & iPads.

  • spal on 24/12/2013 - 05:21

    Hi All,

    I just thought I would let you know that all the $299 units have been sold, thanks for all the support we have received from Oz Bargin shoppers over this 2013 year and hopefully we can give more great prices for you next year.
