TheTechLounge takes a look at the Infrant ReadyNAS X6 X-RAID Network Storage

One of the players in this NAS market is a company by the name of Infrant Technologies. Founded in 2001, they have set out to create a usage-specific processor which they call an NSP (Network Storage Processor); their goal being a dedicated box for the sole purpose of serving out storage to the network. To this end they have created the software which is aptly named RAIDiator. The software is now in its second incarnation as the RAIDiator 2. To see if all these bad plays on words are worth the effort, Infrant has been gracious enough to send me their latest NAS offering, the X6. The X6 is the successor to their ReadyNAS600 which utilized standard RAID architecture to serve out storage to the masses. The new X6 utilizes Infrant’s proprietary X-RAID technology to allow the user to expand the array on the fly. How well this works is precisely what I intend to find out, so let’s roll up our sleeves and dig in!
