This is an excellent NAS I had the Netgear NV+ up and running in about 10 minutes. Very easy to configure, create directories and get all the computers on the network to see and use. We moved our Quickbook files onto the NAS NV+ and are stored for all computers on the network to access them from there. It's quick and safe because we are using the drives redundently in case one fails. I am doing all backups of all non application files (documents, photos, ect.) onto the NV+ for each of the networked computers also....

great product. with a few execptions Overall I really like this product. It is fast and easy to use. The exception to that is the initial load. It took 2 and a half days of nearly constant transferring to load up 1.2 T, I can't remember the exact speeds but it was double what I expected. The only other issue I have had is with the print server. I have a HP printer which like many of todays printers requires a separate software install. If you Can Not have windows auto install your printer without downloading additional drivers, you... [Read 's Complete Review for Netgear NV+ - NAS server (RND4425) at Amazon.com] |

Fast, works great with Windows and Linux It's a little more expensive than other brands I've seen, but I'm very happy with it and didn't mind spending a little more to get exactly what I wanted.
It works great with my Linux and Windows computers at home (and also works with Mac, although I don't have one to test with). For Windows you map a drive through Windows Explorer, for Linux you run mount using NFS. I was able to share and use the same files/directories on both operating systems without any problems. The fact it wo... [Read 's Complete Review for Netgear NV+ - NAS server (RND4425) at Amazon.com] |

Great idea, but flawed We needed shared storage with redundancy, and the ability to back itself up to an externally attached drive. Both key features of this product. The setup interface is simple and easy to use. It has lightning fast connections to our Macs with 1000baseT. And it looks cool! Unfortunately we've experienced two major issues with it since purchase: it fails to backup to our remote USB drive (one that is on the list of acceptable according to Netgear), and we're having issues with our shares ever since...

Works with Windows®, Mac®, and Linux®
ReadyNAS™ NV+ 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.
Easy Deployment and Management
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.
RAID
Supporting hardware accelerated RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) levels 0, 1, 5 and ReadyNAS’s own X-RAID™ technology, ReadyNAS ensures full data redundancy with protection against hardware failure – something previously only available in high end servers. If one drive fails, the data volumes can still be rebuilt with the remaining drives. Without RAID, once a failure occurs, you risk losing all of the data stored on the drive.
X-RAID Technology
ReadyNAS’s patent pending X-RAID technology automates the volume expansion for you as you scale from 1 HDD to 4 HDD. Most NAS devices on the market aren’t future-proof. You can’t add or replace disks for larger capacity. ReadyNAS allows you to start with one disk, then add the additional drives over time, without reconfiguring the system and shuffling the data. Additionally, as disk capacity becomes larger and cheaper, you can replace all four disks, oneby- one, while X-RAID automatically manages the RAID details for you.
Backup
A sound backup strategy is important and relying on manually copying your important files is tedious and error-prone. With the help of EMC® Retrospect® backup and recovery software, you can set automatic backups of all of your network clients – whether they are Windows, Mac or Linux – to your ReadyNAS. Additionally, ReadyNAS includes an integrated backup manager that enables one-button backup from your NAS appliance to external USB HDD for offsite rotation, or to remote servers, if needed.
File Serving and Media Streaming
ReadyNAS is a single centralized source for all of your digital data. The variety of digital devices and hard drives that currently house the data in your home and office can make locating a particular file quite arduous. ReadyNAS can bring all of that data together for fast and easy file serving to multiple clients simultaneously. If it’s video or other high-definition media you are working with, you can use your ReadyNAS for streaming to multiple devices at the same time.
Advanced System Design
The industrial design and ultra compact form factor of the ReadyNAS makes it perfect for any home office or small business. Standing only eight inches tall and five inches wide, it can fit in any entertainment center or on any desk without taking up much space or making much noise. ReadyNAS also offers low power consumption and a special energy-saving mode that allows you to automate startup and shutdown
