Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Incredible performance
  • Huge array of network protocols and servers supported
  • Print sharing and UPS support
  • Huge array of backup options including online service supplied by Netgear
  • Secure remote software provided
  • Third-party add-ons available
  • Excellent community surrounding the products
The bad:
  • Users overcharged for models that include hard drives
  • Inelegant recovery from catastrophic failure
  • No UI-based way to change RAID modes
  • No proper tab ordering in UI
  • User management, sharing and permissions need a usability overhaul
The bottomline:

With the ReadyNAS Pro, Netgear has proven it's still king of the hill. However, some interface quirks, inelegant recovery from catastrophic volume failure, and poor volume, user and share management may put some users off.

Editors’ rating:

8/10

RRP: AU$2900.00
