Netgear's ReadyNAS Duo v2 (diskless $199, 1TB single drive $269, 1TB 2 drives $299) is a scaled-down version of its business-class NAS offering, the Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 6 an excellent NAS for the small business. While the ReadyNAS Duo v2 offers excellent Read/Write speed with a Marvell Kirkwood 6282 1.6 GHz processor, the updated management interface needs work. In fact, several features, such as backing up shared Windows folders and setting up power off/on schedules and a woeful lack of good documentation could use some improvement—surprising lapses from Netgear, and a shame given the product's excellent hardware. SpecsThe ReadyNAS Duo, is a small, very quiet NAS with two drive bays for hot-swappable SATA drives. Maximum drive capacity is 3TB, which topped by the ReadyNAS Duo's close competitor, the D-Link ShareCenter 2-Bay Network Storage (DNS-325) which caps capacity at 4TB. Netgear's ReadyNAS Duo ships with 256 MB PC2700 DDR-SDRAM SO-DIMM. That memory, along with the Marvell Kirkwood processor and embedded 64MB flash memory for the device's OS, makes for one of the best performing NAS devices in the Consumer/SOHO space.
With the home backup and media server market heating up, a box full of drives and a link to your router is no longer enough. Netgear‘s ReadyNAS Duo v2 takes the dual-drive shell of its first-gen predecessor and then makes upgrades to processor, software and more, arriving at an affordable backup station that also offers media streaming, remote access with smartphone apps and more. Read on for the full SlashGear review. Netgear's chassis is sober but sturdy, with a blocky metal casing that's larger than some rivals thanks to its use of regular 3.5-inch desktop hard-drives rather than smaller - generally more expensive and lower capacity - 2.5-inch mobile drives. Up front there's a USB 2.0 port with a dedicated “backup” button that pulls the content of any removable storage plugged in off and to a preset folder, along with a power button, activity and drive lights. As the Duo name suggests, this particular ReadyNAS supports a pair of HDDs which are hot-swappable. Storage can be set up as either RAID 0 “striped” for speed without redundancy, or RAID 1 “mirrored” for data redundancy but half the capacity.
