Nice unobtrusive nas

This review is from: NETGEAR RND2110-100NAS 1TB ReadyNAS Duo 2-bay Network Storage (NAS)
Pros:
Easy to use; replaced drives with 2TB Seagate ones, now three years in and no problems at all. Device monitors itself, emails me if it ever has a hiccup, cough or tummyache. Gives off no heat, usb ports easy to use to transfer files from thumbdrives. Good support on netgear forums.
Cons:
Older versions MUST have their firmware updated, and you must update your raidar and radiator versions as well, or nothing will work correctly. Once done, everything works seamlessly and you have multi TB capacity. Netgear official support sucks. However, they have reps who monitor the support forums, and it seems that there are lots of other users out there who are IT professionals who know what they are doing, so it's easy to get information.
Overall Review:
I own two of these, purchase the second after having the first for two years with no problems. If you want to use these as backups, just buy extra drives identical to the ones in the nas and switch out the drive on the right hand side of the device. The nas will format it and copy everything from the left side drive onto the new one during normal use, you'll never even know it's busy other than the little flashing light indicator. Terrific product.
