ReadyNas Duo RND2000-100UKS + Free Drive
operating system:Windows XPInstalled a Seagate 500Gb Drive from e-buyer with the bare unit, then also received a free 500Gb drive as per promotion.
Check the ReadyNAS website for drive compatability before purchase to ensure a trouble free experience.
Contrary to some other reviewsd on here my experience has been nothing but positive - excellent service from both e-buyer and bluemoon (the promotion fullfilment agency) - even delivering to Jersey.
Worked first time out of the box, although you do need to know a little bit about networking to set it up if you have non-standard LAN IP address configurations (which I do).
Have got it working successfully with a KISS 1600 player (on special at the time I bought the NAS) and seem to be running without problem - drives average 37 celsius when idle, rising slightly when intensive disk ops (such a building the RAID array when the second drive was installed).
Just to advise - if you buy a bare unit and install drives yourself, leave time for the disk to be formatted and built before trying to set it all up.
ReadyNAS forums well worth a visit as loads of useful info on there.
So far it does everything I want it to - excellent price, especially with the free drive offer until the end of June 09.
ReadyNAS Duo Experience
operating system:Windows VistaThe ReadyNAS I bought from Ebuyer worked straight out of the box, it was easy to set up and Ive shared it out to 6 PC's running XP and Vista. When it arrived the Backup software was missing, I exchanged several emails with Ebuyer, but they were absolutely useless and really never wanted to know or provide any after sales support. Eventually I managed to get the software through the ReadyNAS forum. The unit is very good, and I've now populated it with 2 * 750GB disks, they appear to run happily at about 54 degrees. I'd recommend this device, but would buy it from another supplier if you want support.
Great piece of kit, but had some issues.
operating system:Not ApplicableAgree with most people this does work out of the box, but can get confusing & complicated when you start to use other features.
The GOOD - I am an IT support engineer and this is one of the best NAS boxes I found. especially for the money.
The BAD - Yes it does work straight out the box, but I had to do hours of googling to get other features to work, i.e setting user rights and readynas remote did not work.
BEWARE of completely open shares if you are sharing your network.
The UGLY - Netgear support for my readynas remote problem were POO. I fixed it myself by totally removing the add-on and re-installing
Summary
I don't mean to sound moany, I love it, but be prepared to do some research if you want to do more than the basic use.
ReadyNAS Duo - Great Little RAID 1 NAS
operating system:Windows XPAfter losing all the data on my backup external hard drive I realised I needed a more secure backup system. After reading about the ReadyNAS Duo I was amazed to find that it was going for only 159.99 including free 500gb hard drive.
As the system runs in RAID 1 mirror mode it was exactly what I was looking for as if one hard drive dies you just pull it and replace it with a new drive and then the other hard drive copies the files to the new drive.
After fitting the first drive I originally thought the thing was dead (RAIDar said it was a bad disk) but it was formatting the hard drive. Once that was done though it didn't take long to get it all setup and running smoothly.
As I wanted to put my TV Show avi's on the hard drive and the play them via XBMC (Xbox Media Center) I couldn't get the XBMC to see the NAS but I found if I typed in the NAS id name that it let me access it perfectly. Just a little niggle but easy enough to fix.
This was my first NAS and I'm really happy with this little black box. If you do get one, don't panic (like I did) when the thing first boots up. That's the fan at maximum speed while booting. After a few minutes it slows down a lot and goes pretty quiet. I can even watch a movie with the thing in the same room and it not bother me.
