Hi Guys,
I am looking into purchasing an N4100Pro soon. I've been really impressed by the forums and the feature set. There are just a few questions I have.
What is one to do if the unit itself goes south say the CPU goes out or the power supply? Can you purchase components (other than RAM, already seen this done) as replacements?
Secondly, if this unit does go down and out, is it possible to get a controller card of the same type and firmware the controller for this unit is using in order to bring up your array in another machine? I do usually do offsite backups so I would imagine this is not a huge problem, but I don't often try to backup terrabytes of data that way -- just the essential stuff.
Any other ideas would be appreciated as well. Thanks!
