Strengths: -Compact Form Factor -Reliable -X-RAID allows easy expansion -Intuitive web interface -Several file sharing protocols for ease of use -Fantastic tech support -Great expandability through use of add-on

This is a great little box that does everything it advertises and more. It's speedy (20MB/s write, 34MB/s read), tiny, and just all around great. It's very flexible. There are several add-ons that allow extra functionality such as a download manager for http and bittorrent downloads (works as advertised) and a photo gallery (also works well). The company also provides an add-on that allows root...
Strengths: Setup is simple, upgrading is simple, usage is...simple!
Weakness: Nothing yet.
I purchased this raid in a 2x500gb configuration and also purchased two additional 500gb drives to fully populate it. Before ever powering it on, I inserted the additional drives hoping that what I read was true, that it would automatically configure itself to use them. Sure enough, once I installed the software on my computer and plugged the NAS in, it showed the first two drives as usable while...
Strengths: * very easy setup * web based interface is powerful and easy to use * x-raid is automatically tuned to the number of drives * NAS continues to function(as expected) after a drive is "pulled"
Weakness: * fan is a bit noisy for a quiet room
if you can afford to pay for this box, you will not be disappointed. There is a night and day difference between this NAS with RAID compared to most the "DIY" NAS and/or RAID options. the web interface is clean, has lots of options to pick from. you can create share permissions by user, group or folder. you can auto configure the NAS to do backups at a specified time. you can also setup the NAS...
THE GOOD: Great read/write speeds; supports RAID 0, 1, 5; drives are hot-swappable; comes with backup software; includes print, DHCP, and file servers; compatible with UPnP media devices; generous warranty. THE BAD: Its pricey. THE BOTTOM LINE: The Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ offers a lot in the way of features and performance, which is good, because its expensive.

Netgear ReadyNAS 1TB
Strengths: Easy to use; great user community; good tech support; easy to upgrade RAM
Weakness: Expensive; uses older technology
I had an original Infrant ReadyNAS before Netgear bought them up. I sold it when I got a Windows Home Server, only to regret the decision afterwards. As a result, I bought a replacement, now with the Netgear name. The only difference between the Netgear and Infrant boxes is the name on the front of the box! Oh, and the price is considerably higher!! If you shop around, this is probably one of the...
