Product Overview

The NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo is the latest addition to the award-winning ReadyNAS family of advanced network storage products. The Duo builds on the success of the ReadyNAS NV+, providing a quiet, very low-power-consuming, small 2-disk form-factor NAS that's ideal for the home. With large capacity disks becoming the norm, the potential for losing enormous amount of priceless photos, videos, and personal data is very real, and it only takes one hard disk failure to recognize the need for disk failure protection that RAID provides. The ReadyNAS Duo provides this protection with NETGEAR’s patent-pending X-RAID technology. Just by adding a 2nd disk in the Duo, your data is automatically protected from disk failure as each disk becomes an exact mirror of the other.

Provides extra storage

The ReadyNAS Duo is perfect for homes with more than one computer. Unlike a USB drive, the ReadyNAS connects to the network and is simultaneously accessible via all connected Windows or Macintosh computers.

Access stored content anywhere via the Internet

If there is a broadband Internet connection and a home router, the ReadyNAS can be set up to provide secure access to all the stored files remotely via the Internet.

Data Protection

For added protection of stored data, an optional second hard disk drive can be installed. The spare hard drive will keep an extra copy of all the data and instantly take over if the first hard drive should fail.

Supports most network music, picture and video players

Advanced media streaming support allows the ReadyNAS to directly serve media, with no PC required, to devices such as the NETGEAR EVA8000, Sonos Digital Music System, Logitech Squeezebox, Apple iTunes clients, Sony Playstation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360.

Embedded BitTorrent client for direct downloading from the Internet

Officially licensed BitTorrent client allows downloading to occur without the need for an additional computer. A Web-based interface facilitates download management from computers, and a special NETGEAR Digital Entertainer interface allows management from the EVA8000.
