What is the difference between this product and lLenovo IX2 2-Bay Diskless Network Storage (70A69003NA) ?

2 disks versus diskless, the disks are standard off the shelf and can be replaced without issue if the warranty has expired. Very happy with the unit.

The StorCenter IX2 contains disks. Both disks on my device have failed. Lenovo replaced one within warrantee but refused to replace the other one. It's not worth the money to replace the second disk so the unit is no longer in use.

The RAID feature is the only difference, the choice is do you just want up to 8 individual drives (JOBD) or do you want to protect you data from loss (RAID). I have both units and they both function great.

There is no difference, Diskless means that this unit came without any HDD inside from manufacture. You will have to buy them later yourself.

This is the original R1. I believe the R2 is a recent addition. The R2 has a window and appears to have more USB3's on the front.

Yes, I use only two bays right now for my business. It's designed for this. I had a ReadyNAS before and this is 1000x better.

I think they're the same thing. If not, then the one that doesn't say ProRaid may not have the RAID controller built in.

I wrote a non-techie review of my 64g and 128g. I compared writing 37.3 gig of data - the San Disk disk took 5:55 minutes for the 64g and 5:50 for the 128g. The other 2 (not cheapies) took between 25 and 36 minites. All were done with the same source data on the same computer using the same USB3 port. They were all USB 3 drives. Not sure what the specs are, SanDisk has them on their website, but I can tell you it is faster than any of the others out there except maybe the Lexar and the price on those is much higher.

I do not know what is the difference between the two. Maybe one is a older verison (AQ-4000)? Hopefully, someone else can answer the question for you and me. ;-)

If you mean the SATA version support, it looks like it is Sata 3. The drives I have connected to this unit are showing 5.8Gb/s speeds.

Aha!!I was also getting confused by the discrepancy.40GB solid state drive. That explains it.

Mine also has Liteon msata. I wonder why there are 2 different ssd in this model.

Works perfectly fine in my FreeNAS server (FreeNAS-9.1.1-RELEASE-x64 (a752d35))

Hey Taylor, I am currently running 4 4GB WD drives and almost the same config as you for FreeNAS. I decided on 1333 Mhz memory since the price wasn't that much different. I have 3 of these sytems running ESXi 5.5. Great motherboards IMO.

It appears that the other hard drive has comparable specs. However it comes with a different firmware. Otherwise I think it is likely a matter of packaging and marketing.

The red ones are the cheap ones right? Because the cheaper versions are definitely the ones I got. I thought about getting the base model (without the hard drives), but just figured I could upgrade later, as they begin to fail. One at a time hopefully. I love my Synology Disk Station!

I'm running 4x1.5TB drives with ZFS RAID-Z and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a flash drive with 2x4GB 1333. It's been performing very well, no complaints! I'm just not looking forward to when I have to upgrade those drives, at least they were free.
