Summary: I like that you have so many features implimented in the product without having to buy any add-ons or subscribe to services Vs. the NetGear Stora where you have to pay if you want more services like bit-torrent and unlimited users. The ReadyNAS NV+ has ALOT of features but at the same time it's easy to set up so it can be used by novice who just want simple sharing at home to advanced useres who want more business required needs for outside the home.
I my self use it with my Xbox360 for streaming movies, pics and music. My NV+ have had it's RAM upgraded from the stock 256MB Unigen to 1GB Crucial and it works super
Description:RND4000 was designed specifically for home offices, small businesses and workgroups. Never before has there been available a cost-conscience Network Attached Storage (NAS) appliance packed with robust high-end server features, including Gigabit Ethernet, hardware RAID, system monitoring capabilities and built-in backup. ReadyNAS couples out of the box deployment and easy management with robust file serving and data redundancy. With an easy web browser interface and setup wizard, ReadyNAS can be configured with minimal effort - saving you valuable time. Traditional file servers can take hours to configure and, even once up and running, don't have built-in system monitoring and email alerts. Available with ReadyNAS, automatic alerts give you the peace of mind that things are running smoothly because if trouble should arise, you will be notified. You already know how important it is to backup your pictures, digital media and business files, but the truth is, you need it to be easy as well as bullet-proof. ReadyNAS was built to facilitate your backup strategy.
