Reviewed by Ian. Review Posted 03/10/2009

I was reading reviews and looking at many different drives to go on my wired network at home , decided on this one, when it arrived it set up was so easy I have 3 computers and my TV on the network and the NAS drive works a dream I can see photos and listen to music on all networked devices and its fast. only problem I had was with a laptop, for some reason windows firewall swirched itself on and blocked connection to the readyNAS. waiting for my free 2nd drive so I will update when that arrives

Netgear Pricing

Cannot understand netgear pricing this readyNAS Duo with 1TB drive is £591.00.

If you buy the bare box at 207.00 + the Seagate 1TB at 83.00 (as supplied in the above) you get £290.00

Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 14/10/2008

I know that these days hard drives are getting smaller and smaller, so storage space is not really a question of whether one can accommodate one more thing near their workspace. This said my first thought was that the NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo looked so large, not so in real life, this little thing can be put anywhere and it gives me the freedom to stockpile my favorite music, movies and games with no worries of running out of space. I am not some computer expert, just a simple home user that loves to play a lot of games like The Sims and I always find that speed gets slower and the space runs out if I only had my computer at home for hosing the games, with this device I can really enjoy, buy expansion packs and download to my hears desire.
