Mine Doesn't Work and Customer Support is a JOKE!

Strengths: None

Weakness: Crashes often NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT

So I purchased the product and it seemed to work excellent. After less than one week the Readynas froze and dropped off the network - so much for back-up. I then called customer support 1-800-Netgear, so after 45 minutes, without exaggerating, I am transferred to "Bob" whom had me reinstall the firmware. After one week the Readynas crashed again, so called customer support with the same...

Best NAS for the money

Strengths: Expandable, included BitTorrent client, 1-touch backup from USB devices, very cool & quiet for home use.

Weakness: Admin panel just a touch on the rough side but if you are a competent computer user, you'll make it.

I've read a lot about these storage devices and didn't think much of them in the beginning. Figured I could build one for less, however it would have been a headache. This little guy doesn't have much of a footprint and is feature packed. I can stream iTunes to my notebook while watching HD videos on the PS3, download BitTorrent files in the background and still share with other computers in my...

NAS for the home user

Strengths: Fast, Reliable, Built-in BitTorrent Client, Built-in Media Server, Built-in Print Server, Support of Direct Connection of USB Drives / Digital Cameras / UPS, Feature-rich, Easy-to-use Interface.

Weakness: A tad on the expensive side for a home user.

All of the extremely positive reviews (from technology writers to home users) about this product are true. The ReadyNAS Duo is a compelling device. It strikes a fine balance between reliability, performance, feature-richness, and price that fits very, very well with the home-user market. Although it's not for every home, it certainly is targeted towards more advanced home users with multiple...

Excellent Network Storage Device

Strengths: Well built, Powerful software, Very close to be a professional class NAS. Hot swappable disks. Operating system on flash ram instead of disk. Good overall implementation

Weakness: Software a little hard to master, in particular the group and user management features is not very intuitive. Only 256MB of on board memory however it can be upgraded.

I bought this to replace a Buffalo Live station that went bad and had to send back for repair and I am impressed by the implementation of this little server. It is way better then the Buffalo for just a little over the price. I bought it from Newegg with an extra 500GB HD to have full redundancy (RAID 0) for $430.00 and it is worth every penny. I now have a place were to store every important...
