The RND2110 from Netgear is a 2-bay network storage enclosure that will grow as your needs do. The 2 hot swappable bays support SATA and SATA II hard drives. A 1TB drive is already installed and configured so you're ready to go right out of the box. Add capacity beyond the hard drives with the 3 USB 2.0 ports, or attach a printer and let the print server handle your network's print jobs. A 256MB memory module speeds up operations.
This enclosure uses the patent pending X-RAID technology to future-proof your system. Add drives as necessary and swap out smaller drives for larger as your needs increase. X-RAID will handle it all automatically; no more buying a second enclosure full of drives and transferring all of the data manually.
The ReadyNAS is also a fully featured media server with UPnP AV support.

Great Backup Option!
- Pros: RAID, hot swappable drives, configurable with Mac Time Machine, Mac Widget for monitoring the ReadyNAS status, iTunes server, print server, USB UPS supported (I'm still searching for one), automatically backs up anything that's plugged into the USB on the front (like a jump drive or camera), basic installation was easy, and many others I haven't listed.
- Cons: Advanced configuration can be a bit tricky unless you know what you're doing. It's a bit pricey compared to other solutions - but most don't have all the features the ReadyNAS Duo does.
- Other Thoughts: I've had this since August and so far, so good. I purchased an additional 1TB Seagate drive so I'd have the security of RAID. The drives are hot-swappable so just pop it in and it automatically detects and synchs it. This is connected to my wireless router via ethernet cable. I use it to wirelessly back up my two Macbooks with Time Machine. This takes some configuring but once it's done it works great! There is an entire ReadyNAS forum which contains directions on how to do this (Google it). I also have my Samsung laser printer connected to the ReadyNAS via USB and my laptops can wirelessly print to it. Of all the network storage devices I researched, this one had the best reviews and most features for the price. You won't be disappointed.
NetGear tech support
- Pros: The unit itself is great this was the second one I have bought and installed. Written instructions and online information on setup assume more than might be expected from a retail consumer level but the NAS works well and does a good job.
- Cons: Read the fine print! Had the 1TB Seagate drive that came with the unit go bad within the first 30 days of use. After 1 phone call ( 1 hour on phone) following instructions to wait a week and call back if problem continues. Call back one week later (1.5 hours on phone) get to level 2 and confirm the HD is bad and NetGear will call me back with what is to be done. Next day call back says level 3 support regrets to inform me that the HD must be returned through the manufacturer so I should call Seagate. This is not great support and a huge waste of my time. Fortunately, Newegg does have better customer support and I can get the entire unit replaced through them, the issue of course is I do not have a backup system during this time.
- Other Thoughts: Bottom line for me is Newegg continues to have a loyal and satisfied customer, Netgear went from having a satisfied and loyal customer who recommended their products to others to a consumer willing to try other companies NAS products because of poor customer/tech support.

Not readily compatible with Mac OS 10.6
- Pros: Because it was not readily compatible with Mac OS 10.6, I spent hours working with tech support. They were polite and tried very hard to help. The first level technicians had very little if any experience with the Mac but they tried hard. The second level technicians were more experienced and really did try to help but were unable to resolve my problems.
- Cons: Despite statements to the contrary, this is not compatible with MAC OS 10.6. I spent hours working with tech support to try to get this working with Time Machine, but these efforts failed in the end.
- Other Thoughts: The rebate program seems to be sham. It requires that one submit original paperwork, so I submitted all of the original paperwork. At first, the paperwork was "misplaced" for a month or two. Then I was told that I would have to submit a copy of the original paperwork. But I had already submitted the original paperwork. I offered to take the S/N label off the of the drive to submit that to demonstrate - even more conclusively - proof of purchase but they simply said that I would have to submit original paperwork, which they knew I did not have. Very frustrating experience. If you are counting on the rebate, you may want to contact the FTC or your state attorney general to see if there are other complaints similar to mine.
Easy to install
- Pros: Easy to setup including adding a ghost drive.
- Cons: Not sure if it's my PS3 or the NAS but certain videos, especially from my cameras does not run very smooth.
But Not for Snow Leopard
- Pros: Nice hard drive with lots of features and storage room. Have the 500 GB version and added 2nd drive (identical to first to be sure) for raid security.
- Cons: Upgraded Macbook Pro to snow leopard and will not work with the NAS Duo. Netgear needs to get on the stick and offer an update to the software!! Was using this with both a PC and the Macbook. Now only works with the PC after the SL upgrade to 10.6.2.
- Other Thoughts: Overpriced, need to add firewire 800. After needing to "restore" my Macbook Pro, it took about 3 days to restore through Time Machine. But it did not restore! Guess the backup through TM did not actually get written to the NAS Duo after all!
