Uniquely designed for NAS (Network Attached Storage) at home, the Netgear ReadyNAS Duo is perfect for households that have more than one computer. Unlike a USB drive, the ReadyNAS connects to the network and makes your data simultaneously accessible via all your connected Windows of Macintosh computers. And you can use it anywhere via the Internet to gain access to your stored data! Plus, the ReadyNAS Duo’s can be outfitted with an optional "spare" hard drive to protect you against drive failure by making a duplicate copy of all your data. This innovative device supports most network music, picture, and video players. Store, access, and share your data with the ReadyNAS Duo.

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.
Easily create a personal webpage that shares stored photos with friends and family
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.

I bought this to back up our computers on our wireless 'N' lan through my Netgear router and it works perfect! I have added a second 500gb. Seagate hard disk and a third for an external back up. It configures and syncs the two drives in about an hour. Great product for the money, wish I would have bought a bigger one.
works well

Purchased this product primarily to serve as an backup image repository for several computers. Use it in conjuction with Norton backup...proved to be very reliable (over 1 year now)..only 1-2 downtimes due to power outages. Haven't really begun to use many of the other features of this product....

I originally bought this for the Squeeze Center add-on and to house my .mp3 files. I've since found it to be a great way to network photos and documents throughout my house. I've found the speed to be a bit slow when I transfer files, but that's more an inconvenience than a flaw. I like that it can email you error messages and you can set the timer to have it startup and shutdown at certain times. Fan is a bit noisy. Just purchased a second hard drive to add for backup. It appears to be a pretty easy to do.
What is RAID?
RAID is an acronym first defined back in 1987 to describe a redundant array of
inexpensive disks, a technology that allowed computer users to achieve high
levels of storage reliability from low-cost PC hard disk drives, via the
technique of arranging the devices into an array for fail-safe redundancy.
"RAID" is now used as an umbrella term for computer data storage schemes that
can divide and replicate data among multiple hard disk drives. The different
schemes/architectures are named by the word RAID followed by a number, as in
RAID 0, RAID 1, etc. RAID's various designs involve two key elements: increased
data reliability or increased input/output performance. When multiple physical
disks are set up to use RAID technology, they are said to be in a RAID array.
This array distributes data across multiple disks, but the array is seen by the
computer user and operating system as one single disk. RAID can be set up to
serve several different purposes.
Organizing disks into a redundant array decreases the total usable storage
capacity. For instance, a 2-disk RAID 1 array loses half of the total capacity
that would have otherwise been available using both disks independently, and a
RAID 5 array with several disks loses the capacity of one whole disk. Other
types of RAID arrays are arranged so that they are faster to write to and read
from than a single disk.
There are various combinations of these
configurations giving different trade-offs and benefits of protection against
data loss, capacity, and speed. RAID levels 0, 1, and 5 are the most commonly
found, and cover most of the typical requirements.
RAID 0 (striped disks) distributes data
across several disks in a way that gives improved speed at any given instant. If
one disk fails, however, all of the data on the array will be lost, as there is
neither parity nor mirroring.
RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the
disks, making a 1:1 (1 to 1) ratio real-time backup. The contents of each disk
in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array.
RAID 3 uses a striped set with
dedicated parity or bit interleaved parity or byte level parity. This
mechanism provides fault tolerance similar to RAID 5. However, because the strip
across the disks is a lot smaller than a file system block, reads and writes to
the array perform like a single drive with a high linear write performance. If
one drive fails, the performance doesn't change.
RAID 5 (striped disks with parity)
combines three or more disks in a way that protects against data loss of any one
disk. The storage capacity of the array is reduced by the capacity of the one
disk (all disks are of equal size).
RAID 6 (striped disks with dual parity)
can recover from the loss of two disks.
RAID 10 (or 1+0) uses both striping and
mirroring. ("01" or "0+1" is sometimes distinguished from "10" or "1+0": a
striped set of mirrored subsets and a mirrored set of striped subsets are both
valid, but distinct, configurations.)
