+ 1 : Netgear ReadyNAS Duo + 1 for the ReadyNAS Duo I paid about £140 for my Duo, it came with two 500Gb drives from Netgear as part of a promotion (small error on their part sending my two drives, should have only been one). I followed the instructions and it all worked like clockwork. I...

Hi I should state, that this post is NOT intended to be a Netgear bashing. I've had a number of Netgear products over the years and they've all been pretty good and the Netgear support has always been professional and helpful. So... I purchased a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo, after researching the...

Hi After much deliberation, mainly on this site, I got a Netgear ReadyNas duo and at £120 including two 500Gb drives - I reckon it's damn good value and a good wee device too. I can heartily recommend it. I do however have another question relating to it. My question really relates to...

Cheers Chaz, That is one helluva comprehensive dvd ripping guide.

Hi I have searched SNB and AVS forums and managed to get way too much info and am now suitably confused. I have a need to rip the children's DVD's to my Netgear ReadyNas Duo - as I am burning money with every passing weekend, as I go back to the store to buy another copy of Ice Age I & II...

"it is a concern with you are a novice with linux and dont have a clue about kernel and lvm. " That would be me then.

Cheers Claykin Thanks for taking the time to reply to my question. Regarding your comment on the 16kb blocks, is this a cause for concern ? What options do you have for accessing the data from the HDD's, in the event the duo fails ? For example, in the event you do not have a current...

Does anyone know if the Netgear Readynas Duo is about to be replaced, or discontinued ? I only ask, as I am about to buy one, as they have are suddenly appearing online, very heavily discounted, I can now get one as low as £140. Maybe it is just a sales drive... Anyone know ? cheers...

Tim I have read the reviews and that has helped. I think the underpowered Netgear gets my vote. Which I am surprised by, as on paper it looks completely outclassed by the Acer. cheers Aaron

Tim Thanks for the response. Not sure if it has helped me make a decision ! Is the Microsoft WHS solution any better than a based Raid solution ? Any chance of a review any time soon, as I am sure that would help ? :) cheers Aaron

Just seen this on Engadget here It is priced at $400, which seems pretty good value, I reckon. I have experience of Windows Server, but not Windows Home Server. I know that WHS does not use Raid, but say the device breaks, how can you get back to the data on the disks (without buying...

Active Directory Is Active Directory relevant on a home, or secure SOHO network ? Just curious cheers Aaron

Doh Please ignore last post, found it here http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30429/75/. Should have looked before posting. cheers Aaron

Thanks Tim, Before I order one of these today, with a couple of the approved Samsung 1tb drives, do you know if the Readynas Duo supports AD ? thankss Aaron

Thanks Tim, My backup strategy priority would be driven a business need of "got to be able to get to the data quickly, no matter what has failed" So just so I have it right. Readynas Duo Ideal: local networked device (ie. readynas duo); OK: USB Drive (Seagate Freeagent) Mozy, or...
