NETGEAR ReadyNas Duo
Fresh from seeing the ReadyNAS Duo unveiled at this mornings press conference, I got the chance to touch the unit and sift through the data sheet to bring you more details.  NETGEAR is going after us lazy folk who have converted all our content gathering devices like digital cameras, digital music, digital video but have not done anything about storage except filling up our PCs.  The ReadyNas Duo looks to make it real easy and affordable to upgrade our storage.

The ReadyNas Duo features a graphical web browser to guide you through set up.  Since the unit is not machine dependent, multiple users can gain access to it’s data stores.  Best of all, if you’ve been looking into a storage solution, you know that the way to go is dual redundancy or RAID.  RAID anticipates one drive dying at some point and therefore has a full backup on the other drive, it is a Duo remember, keeping all your data safe.

The ReadyNas Duo is designed to be a self-maintaining solution, capable of monitoring itself and alerting you if it encounters an error.

The base version, 500 GB can hold boatloads of data.  If boatloads isn’t descriptive enough:
How much does it store?
-232,000 photos
-116,000 songs
-145 hours of DVD-quality video1.

Included in the box is the 2-disc ReadyNas device, power cord, EMC backup software, and an installation guide and CD.  Price is said to be less than $500.
