Very Good Product This is my second NAS drive. I upgraded from a Maxtor Shared plus drive, (also good). The Netgear was my choice for having the option of expandability and redundancy. I also liked the add on features it offers.
The Drive installed relatively easily. The only problem I have had is the interface for media streaming does not work very well with my Netgear EVA700. I have installed Twonky media to over come this. Very Happy.

Very disappointing, slow drive While I agree the drive looks nice, appears to have a solid case, and a lot of great functionality; mine is just painfully slow to use. Periodically I've had to reboot it just to get it to respond at all. It seems at times it gets so hung up with some internal process that it just doesn't have the bandwidth to respond at all. (The disk light was flickering constantly.) Even when I asked it for some very simple information, like right clicking on "properties" over a few folder to see how big ...

Nice Product with a few potential improvements possible. This was pretty easy product to setup and worked flawlessly with my desktop PC delivering transfer speeds of 12-15MB/s when connected via a D-Link DGS-2208 Gigabit switch. There is a bit of low pitch whine from the fan and it's scary noisy when you first boot it (it calms down after it is done booting) but overall it's very quiet.
I had some trouble setting it up until I realized that you have to create a DLNA media share directory in order for the PS3 to see the files. Confusing b...

Best NAS I've owned. I've owned 3 NAS (HP,Buffalo, and this). This is the best one for many reasons. First off, it's tiny, and quiet. About the size of 3 bare drives in width and about 1.5x the drive in length. Construction is out of metal and looks very sturdy. Metal should help with heat dissipation as well. The hot swappable drive is unique in this price range. I do wish that the drive's status light is a bit bigger.It's like a tiny dot.
The reason that I like this drive the most is that it'...

Look for Great product whose price varies widely from site to site. Setup was not easy but not extremely difficult. When I started using my ReadyNAS to serve files to my XBox 360, the large number of files I had caused the DLNA to choke (I had already installed the latest stable firmware on inital setup). I then installed newest beta firmware which not only fixed the DNLA problems but added a feature for auto-updating of the DNLA database on addition or removal of files, which was absolutely key. Install...

Speedy network access once configured correctly - see below
Forum support is helpful
Music and video playback is smooth and reliable

Best Home NAS Solution for Mac Users....Period! I purchased this device a couple weeks ago and can't believe how impressed I am. As a Mac user exclusively at home, this device exceeds my expectation. I have several Mac's in the house that can connect to this NAS effortlessly, with no incompatibility issues. Further, no naming convention issues like I've found on other NAS devices that only use the SMB/CIMB protocol.
Best Features:
1.) Can use AFP protocol exclusively for all connected Mac users. This means when I pu...

What a great product and Amazon Price ! I purchased this Netgear ReadyNAS DUO RND-2150 to replace a D-Link NAS DNS-323. I wanted the ability to increase my drive size without having to restore the current files from an off NAS backup. (Not available with the D-Link product. I had read several reviews and I was impressed with what I had learned from the reviews.
My oreder from Amazon arrived within 2 days and I was up and running with the Originally Purchased hardware. The RND-2150 comes with 1 500 Gig HD. After I had set it up a...

Netgear ReadyNas 500GB - Semi-Pro Storage Devices for the Wired Home or Small Office / Branch Office Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ()
I have put the through the paces and for me it has passed with flying colors. I own a lot of external storage, and I've configured plenty of NAS devices for work and for home use. While the Netgear lineup of ReadyNAS devices are expensive, the extra features will put them over the top fo...

Easy Setup For Mac users This is a great product. I looked around, read a lot of reviews, checked out a lot of websites. As a Mac user (PowerBook G4 15" 1.25GHz) one worries about compatibility issues--for me they were not existent. After reading the setup info I plugged in the 2nd drive (Western Digital WD5000KSRTL Caviar 500 GB SATA Hard Drive), installed the software (there's a widget that provides monitoring of the drives 'health', setup, and access), and went through the setup process. It was EASY. On a 1-5 sca...
