The RND4250 from Netgear is a 4-bay network storage enclosure that will grow as your needs do. The 4 hot swappable bays support SATA and SATA II hard drives. Two 500GB drives are 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. There is a 256MB memory module to speed up operations. There are indicator LEDs and a 2 line LCD display to let you monitor status.
There is built in support for RAID levels 0, 1 and 5. Or you can take advantage of the X-RAID technology to future-proof your system. It lets you 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 NV+ is also a fully featured media server with UPnP AV and SlimServer support. It's also Windows MCE compatible so all of your PCs on the network can access the media files from a central location. HTTP/S and FTP/S support lets you access the device from anywhere you have internet access.
Gigabit Network ConnectionThe ReadyNAS NV+ RND4250 features a Gigabit Ethernet port for up to 10X the speed of most 100M network connections and excellent usability for office and home networks.
Huge 1TB Storage CapacityThe ReadyNAS NV+ RND4250 combines two 500GB hard drives to provide an amazing storage capacity of 1TB for high-performance data storage and backup.
SATA I/II HDD SupportThe ReadyNAS NV+ RND4000 features four hot-swappable SATA I/II drive trays for easy installation and replacement of internal hard drives.
X-RAID TechnologyNetgear's X-RAID technology automates the volume expansion as you scale from 1 to 4 hard drives. With the ReadyNAS NV+ RND4250, start with one disk and add additional drives over time without reconfiguring the system and shuffling the data. Just replace your disks one by one with X-RAID automatically managing the RAID details for you!
Data ProtectionThe advanced RAID system with support for RAID 0, 1 and 5 continually checks hard drive performance to ensure data integrity.
Network SecurityThe ReadyNAS NV+ RND4250 boasts an arsenal of functions to ensure network and data security, including Selectable Share, User, Domain/ADS Modes, Windows ACL, Encrypted Network Logins and Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
