Netgear RND2000 ReadyNAS Duo (Diskless) Product Details

Netgear RND2000 ReadyNAS Duo (Diskless)
A NAS (Network Attached Storage) Device for the Home that provides extra storage that can be conveniently shared with all your computers! The ReadyNAS Duo is perfect for homes with more than one computer. Unlike a USB drive, the ReadyNAS connects to the network and is simultaneously accessible via all connected Windows or Macintosh computers.

  • Access stored content anywhere via the Internet
    If there is a broadband Internet connection and a home router, the ReadyNAS can be set up to provide secure access to all the stored files remotely via the Internet.
  • Optional “spare” hard drive protects against drive failure by making a duplicate copy of all your data
    For added protection of stored data, an optional second hard disk drive can be installed. The spare hard drive will keep an extra copy of all the data and instantly take over if the first hard drive should fail.
  • Supports most network music, picture and video players
    Advanced media streaming support allows the ReadyNAS to directly serve media, with no PC required, to devices such as the NETGEAR EVA8000, Sonos® Digital Music System, Logitech Squeezebox™, Apple iTunes® clients, Sony Playstation® 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360®.
  • Embedded BitTorrent™ client for direct downloading from the Internet
    Officially licensed BitTorrent client allows downloading to occur without the need for an additional computer. A Web-based interface facilitates download management from computers, and a special NETGEAR Digital Entertainer interface allows management from the EVA8000.
  • Directly streams music, photos and video to existing network media players without a computer
  • Creates a personal webpage to easily share photos with friends and family
  • Diskless unit, preconfigured with version software, just add hard drive to start

Note this is a diskless NAS - it does not include Hard Disk Drives - available separately.

Easy Unit

I bought this to replace a NetGear NAS whose power unit failed. Apparently this was a fairly common problem; the good news is that NetGear has replaced the on-board power supply with a power brick. This unit seamlessly picked up the configuration from the old one.

Unit worked on PC but will not communicate on MAC

Brought the unit setup in PC which work. But will not communicate with the mac pro. Called in the support line went through 3 people and all they do a pull out the 20 or so hard drive compatibility list and said your hard drive is not compatible and won't troubleshoot with you. It is now a paperweight. Will never buy net gear product ever again.

Great buy

This is my second ReadyNAS Duo. Rock-solid performance. Only annoying thing is after a non-UPS protected power failure the whole drive has to check for errors. With a 2TB drive, this can take a while. Other than that, well worth the money for an intro NAS machine.

Great product - but Documentation stinks

It does everything it says it does. It's fast. I'm amazed at how fast this thing is. But it took a night of research to get it going. 1) First make sure you buy supported drives or do your research. I have two WD10ears 1TB in mine. They are not supported, but on the dicussion boards were several people who were using them without major issues. 2) Documentation that comes with it does not tell you that their are two set-up utilities and that you only have a small window to do the first one. Because of this, I missed the window on the first utility and my VOLUME (HD) was not formatted properly. After a night of research and armed with all the information, I tried again and setup was a breeze. 3) Use the discussion boards and FAQs on the Netgear site. They saved me from an RMA.
