The RND2175 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 750GB 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 you can attach a printer and let the print server handle your network's print jobs. There is a 256MB memory module to speed up operations.
This enclosure uses the X-RAID technology to future-proof your system. Add drives as necessary and swap out smaller drives for larger ones 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.
