The ReadyNAS Pro performs admirably, achieving around 70 MB/s read speeds and 60 MB/s write speeds during independent testing with a gigabit connection.
As with virtually all NAS systems, and definitely all arrays of this size, the ReadyNAS Pro supports a variety of RAID systems to backup important data. RAID 0, 1, 5, and 6 all come supported. Hotswapping is also available, so drives that have failed or need to be upgraded can be removed and replaced while the array as a whole remains online and the data stored within remains available through the procedure.
