December 17, 20241 yr So we all know Netgear Screwed their customers by disabling readycloud and taking away support for apps. Well I was curious. so I got 2 of these devices from work, i restored an older version of the firmware on 1 of the devices and installed 6 12TB hd's and spun up the older version of the netgear OS. I have apps back and the ability to sync cloud software again yea me. Well, Lets take this a little bit further and see what else the box was capable of doing. yep let enter with UnRaid. ok so grab a key, UnRaid Pro. and see if the other system will boot from USB. to my surprise it will. so now lets see what it can do. So the system originally comes with 4gig ECC DDR-3 Buffered RAM and an Intel iCore3-3220. After a little research, you can upgrade to Xenon or even a faster Intel iCore7-3770K so I purchased 16 gig of DDR3, and the iCore7-3770 (dont need the K- Not overclocking on this board) and if you look UnRaid see's every part of this system. (yes Notice the high loads on the CPU - I'll show you why in a moment) they drop when its not tasked with the massive loads i am putting on it. And this is more the standard Average when not transcoding or downloading or updating massive Video Library and Music Archive.
