![]() In terms of disk drives, both 3.5” and 2.5” HDD and 2.5” SSD are compatible, although Netgear do provide a small list of compatible drives and give a warning that you must use the drives in the list but we can’t confirm this as we have no spare drives to test if non-listed drives work. Read on to see what all this jargon actually means and how the ReadyNAS fares. There's also cloud-based setup and file management with Read圜LOUD, with Netgear claiming its the only consumer NAS to include unlimited snapshots, cloud-managed replication and real-time anti-virus. Netgear claim this product offers a sleek, modern and intuitive user interface along with various powerful embedded and add-on applications for iTunes, DLNA and backup. ![]() The Netgear ReadyNAS 102 includes 2 x 1TB HDDs, which retails at £170 for the diskless version and various options of 1TB to 8TB costing up to £440. Another benefit is that now with some NAS devices, you can connect from anywhere in the world to grab that important file or share photos for example. A good NAS device can not only provide the means to easily supply digital media to any other network attached or DLNA compatible devices but also with enough spare storage can act as an easy and efficient way to safely back up the files of PCs in the home. The latter is probably the easiest and most cost effective option. ![]() To do this there are several options - your main PC with enough spare storage space to act as a home server, a separate dedicated PC as a home server or a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device. As we move with ever increasing pace into a world of digital media and slowly say goodbye (sadly in this reviewer’s opinion) to physical media, it’s becoming increasingly important to have a good device in place to be able to supply your Home Entertainment system with all the digital media goodness it needs.
