It is slightly more expensive than other brands I’ve seen, but I am very happy, and do not mind spending a little to get what I wanted.
It works well with my Linux and Windows computers at home (and also works on the Mac, although I do not have a test). Windows card you drive through Windows Explorer, use the Linux “mount” using NFS.
I had the opportunity to share and use the same files / directories on both operating systems without any problems. In fact, the best was a major cause of Linux I bought this over other brands I looked. However, please note that the documentation the print server only supports Windows and Mac users. For me it is less of a problem, because I usually use my Linux development and printing of all Windows.
It was ready out of the box, the discs had already been determined by X-RAID, RAID technology on their own, which is essentially a RAID-5, but to manage growth, so you can add / replace disks more easily. It also offers RAID 0, 1 and 5, but because it is a 4-disk drive bays and drives are so cheap now, I would recommend only using RAID 5, and X-RAID. It’s hot swap, so you can change the disk without closing down. If one drive fails, you can replace without loss of data (except RAID 0).
If you want to use instead of standard RAID 0/1/5 X-RAID, change before you can file (or a backup first), because according to the documents they change all its data.
It supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds, but my computer does not exist, so the transfer speed of copying files ReadyNAS was about 3-4 MB / s, and approximately 9-10 MB / s, the copy is. The CNET editor review, they were able to create a 5 GB test file to write to 18 minutes, and read the file back to the 13 minutes (13 minutes reading time was the fastest of any of the NAS servers are tested).
RAIDar comes with software found online instantly. RAIDar including displays the current RAID status, disk usage, fan speed and temperature units and each station.
Web user interface provides much control over. One feature I really like that, you can send alerts to multiple e-mail addresses (and text messages on your phone) under various conditions, such as drive failures, more than temperature, disk quotas exceeded, power failures (if connected UPS), etc. Another feature I would like the opportunity to drive a dream After configurable period of inactivity.
the latest firmware, I had the opportunity to use the SSH connection directly to the file. Apparently, you care when you’re trying to avoid changing / deleting system files. It would not be good.
Only a few things so far:
– ReadyNAS I can not access to my office VPN access, but it is a security “feature” and the VPN software to ensure company and also to prevent IP address collisions. I thought I would mention in case others have the same problem. VPN software is configurable to delete it, but turning the power to create other problems, because my home network subnet is also used to work (they tell us to a specific subnet at home to avoid collisions, but my router can not change the subnet).
– Web interface uses JavaScript alert pop-ups for every confirmation, which may be a bit tiring. But I can live with, taking into account how much control the web interface you can during the ReadyNAS. I hope they change this for future firmware update.
– The built-in SMTP to send e-mail notification does not work for me, I had to own SMTP e-mail account to get to work. The guide mentioned that some network problems questions, but I do not know why I did not.
– As noted above, the print server does not support Linux.
I still do not work yet, but if I it very much, and I’m glad I went with this.
UPDATE 10/29/08: The latest firmware update for the web interface. It is not Firefox 3 0, but I’m IETab Firefox extension, so I set Internet Explorer to use.

I bought the NV + 1GB drives and without populated by its own Seagate 500GB 7200-10 positions, which saved me about $ 150 more than the acquisition 2TB unit.
The results so far are very good. Installing the NAS drive and get up and it was easy to sync and went just like the instructions said. I started at 9pm and the morning of the device is initialized and ready to receive the files. Using the X-Raid, where the device is shown 1 3TB storage available.
I to share the media files, documents and software / drivers within our own network, a combination of wired and Wireless-G. Unlike the hours it took to 500 GB of movies / music / photo’s onto the desktop via 100-Base-T NV +, performance, access to files on the desktop wired and 2 wireless laptops is very good. Home movies stream to wireless laptops without loss of frames or hesitation in playback.
ITunes server is a great feature and works very well on all computers. Another good feature is the SMTP server for e-mail alerts and info from your phone, he sent me a message from the first night after initialization and synchronization completed. I hope that I never had a different message, because it probably means bad news.
I successfully backed up 2 laptops and 1 desktop back to share, but I’m still trying to figure out how to back up NV + that I own can save backups of the rest.
To date, a large unit. Small, attractive case, easy to install and use.

After some really bad experiences with other Network Attached Storage, I finally got the money, but. It is expensive, but it really works. I use it to backup all my files, including your own archives, and I really need something I can trust. Here is a real RAID, so if / when he loses the hard drive, you can re-build. A well designed, great software, and a real manual. A small complaint, the fan a little too fast for the use of the Media Room.

I own a number of Netgear (formerly Infrant) NAS devices. After NetGear bought the company, they came out of the new version of the embedded operating system for this equipment looks like it is usually just a cosmetic update that changes the name Infrant Netgear one.
Unfortunately, it also introduces a very serious and a repeatable bug in the Apple Macintosh users. When one of the NAS boxes running the new OS version Installing AppleShare file is copied to the NAS box always gets the creation of today’s date. Strange, when you copy a folder, the folder date correctly set the date of the original source folder, but the files in it, and lose their original creation dates.
This error occurs only for the new version of OS (4, 00), which are not covered by the previous version (3 01). It is well under OS X 10. 4 and 10 5
I have spent considerable time and held the phone to technical support from Netgear, and they claim that this is a problem with the AFS File Protocol. I do not know how this claim when apparently everything works fine, the previous version of software can make their own, but the telephone number of the “gentleman’s essentially told me something to effect of” nobody uses AFS in any case, so why should we concern. “
If you own an Apple, and consider the NAS box, you might want to hold out until now buy NetGear device. With the Samba file-sharing is not really possible, either, because it significantly limits the potential for designation of a file. This is the real error is corrected, and NetGear.

It was a difficult search to find the right NAS. I tried a couple that were weak. But NAS is by far the best I’ve had. It was a sigh of relief during the installation. Simple, straight forward, smarter system. I regularly every month, and I am very happy.
Print server, media server, it works well, too! It is important that this baby expandable. I suggest buying the 1TB and expanding the road, because the drives are always cheaper than at the moment.
Enjoy safe, fast, secure data!
