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 an...

RAID works, survives hard disk failure What is Amazon Vine and why do these reviewers write so much stuff without saying anything? This review is for people who want to know only one thing: Does this device actually survive a disk failure? The answer is Yes.
My sister recently lost 2 of her external USB hard drives. She had to pay $3000 to a data recovery company to retrieve her data. I figure that $400 for a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo is small change, if it actually did what it claimed to do, which is survive a disk crash. The ...

An effective file and print server for a household of laptops. Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) There are countless ways one can use this product. The built-in BitTorrent functionality, for example, makes this a standalone seeder or leecher that can work in the background while other machines are differently tasked or offline. While I'm not using it that way, I certainly appreciate the potential.
We use it, effectively, as a desktop replacement in the capacity of a print and file server. We...

Buit like a tank and oozing with functionality Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) Netgear's ReadyNAS Duo is one extremely solid piece of kit. From the moment you take it in your hands you'll be surprised at the solid weight, feel and case construction of this little black box. The ReadyNAS Duo feels almost industrial-strength and makes other PC hardware attachments with cheap plastic casing seem like toys in comparison. Right off the bat, as first impressions go the ReadyNAS Duo gets a b...

The ReadyNAS Duo Is Extremely Cool Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) The ReadNAS Duo (RND for short) is an extremely cool addition to my network. I had it up and running fast with no problems. The web interface allows you to administer all the settings in both Wizard and Advanced mode. After the initial setup, the RND will show up in your network neighborhood on your network. You can then map a drive letter to it and start copying and sharing files. I moved all our pictures to ...

Works well after I updated My ReadyNAS Duo shipped with a version of the BitTorrent client that has been known to use 100% CPU even when you are not using it. This caused my device to be VERY slow for the first day I used it. Prior to sending it back to Amazon for a refund I did a little digging and eventually found a version that fixed the issue. I was a bit disappointed with the issue and the amount of research it took to fix (Netgear does not have anything on their site about it. I eventually found something in a f...

When Stuff is This Cool, I Get Excited Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) Netgear ReadyNAS Duo (Network Accessible Storage) Home Media Server for music, photos, videos, and it also doubles as an ideal backup server. It comes with a second drive bay with a removable rack, so you can easily make it a RAID secure environment, instantaneously making a mirrored copy of everything. It comes with NTI Shadow software, enabling each workstation in a network, whether it is a PC or a MAC, to b...

Good NAS (with a big issue) The Readynas Duo's second disk can only be used in mirror mode. The second disk cannot be used to increase total capacity of the NAS i.e, JBOD mode is not supported. This means that you can only have 500GB of space (unless you replace the existing 500GB disk with a bigger one)
Other than this issue, the NAS drive seems to perform well. Big file (> 10MB) transfers gave a consistent 12MB/sec on my 100Mbps LAN. I also upgraded the Slimserver 6.5 to Squeezecenter 7 without any issues. SSH...

Your little black box Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) The Netgear ReadyNAS duo is a scaled down version of the ReadyNAS NV+, designed to accommodate the needs of home network users in either PC or Mac environments and, assuming the documentation is accurate any combination thereof. I am not a Mac user, so that functionality will not be addressed here. This 2-bay version comes preloaded with a 500gb HD and a tray for addition of another HD for mirroring and redun...

Oh, I *really* love this... :) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) This is probably one of the best "toys" I've received as part of the Amazon Vine review program... The Netgear RND2150 ReadyNAS Duo 500 GB Desktop Network Attached Storage device. Having never had a network storage device to use at home, I was a bit unsure as to how useful I'd find it. In less than a week, the answer is "how did I live without it?"
First impressions... I expected something much ...
