@chuch52: you can just reset the NAS and it will work. the proper way to do it is turn off the NAS, press and hold the reset button. turn on the nas and when you see the lights on either first or second hardrive release the reset button. that's it...hope it helps..

@geekanoids 14 лет назад

@dalomesser I cannot answer your question exactly, but if this is attached to a wireless ethernet router it is then available on a wireless connection (eg a laptop).

@geekanoids 14 лет назад

@jollino As far as I know you can use it with one disk and then add another one later, but you might have to backup your data whilst the XRaid is setup and then pull your data back across.

@geekanoids 13 лет назад

@cjboonie Thanks for the compliment. You can buy these with or without HD's.

@geekanoids 14 лет назад

@ecotts Thanks for both your comments on this video.

@geekanoids 12 лет назад

Thanks for watching.

@DAM89 14 лет назад

What are the wireless possibilities of this device? Can i access wirelessly if i add a wireless adapter to the ethernet port etc, or does it have to go through a router.

@geekanoids 14 лет назад

@pofrani Yes it comes with everything you need to put 3.5 inch SATA drives in it.

@zaheersarwar7815 3 года назад

If I connect this to the home network system aswell as accessing files etc from laptop, can I also watch films etc via TV which is also on the home network?

@geekanoids 3 года назад

Yes, this should be possible, but for films I would look to a model that offers video encoding.

@Crackoneopen 4 года назад

Just picked up one for $25 and it included two 2tb WD Red NAS drives :)

@geekanoids 4 года назад

Bargain price. Great find.

@lawranceknott1979 4 года назад

Thought I got a good deal at £50 for the unit and 2x 500gb drives. But you sir. You have got a bargain there.

@geekanoids 14 лет назад

@pofrani 1GB is the hard drive capacity. 1 gigabit is the ethernet speed.

@kingvizrael7524 Год назад

hi, please can anyone help, i have the same version, for whatsoever reason my readynas is not detected on router page or pc, doesnt matter its windows os or mac pc, changed pc, router, cables, but for whatsoever reason it always blinks all the lights with full fan speed whenever i switch on with or without the hard disks, i have installed even the smb package in windows 10, turned off firewall but no use, pls help, how to solve this?

@geekanoids Год назад

Sorry I no longer have this to check.

@geekanoids 13 лет назад

@cjboonie no, my hard drives came with counter-sunk screws.

@geekanoids 14 лет назад

@pofrani Only a little performance gain. I wouldn't spend on the upgrade.

@badger0681UK 14 лет назад

Thanks for getting back to me, i will get the net gear. Regards Garry

@chopsya 13 лет назад

@coderboy360 you can upgrade to 4TB with 2 x 2TB drives

@rikused33 11 лет назад

I completely agree. An amazing review, I am not sure if I missed the speed of the USB though, 2.0 or 3.0? I was also wondering what were the capacities of the hard drives bays.

@PLively 14 лет назад

Excellent review, thanks. 1. if an external USB HDD is attached will the backup button copy the whole contents of the drive up to the NAS? 2. can this model be joined to a Windows AD domain? 3. if so will it preserve windows share and NTFS permissions when this is done. 4. Will it stream DivX movies to an XBox 360? Thanks in advance for your time and help.

@RobHawthorn 13 лет назад

Absolutely brilliant review, full compliments to Dave for this it's helped me make an informed decision. Thank you!

@liamgreen94 13 лет назад

Are these really easy to set up? like for a person never setup a home server.

@FXerGerFra 14 лет назад

Could I use this to stream HD (either 720p or 1080p) Flash videos to my website (also considering that my Router uses a dynamic IP to connect to the T-Online servers here in Germany. Could i configure it to be accessed from any location on the world via a web browser using a Service like DynDNS and not just a simple FTP connection ? Thank you in advance.

@geekanoids 14 лет назад

@badger0681 Yes, you can use for both. I would go with this one.

@Qukken 13 лет назад

Hi. this is made for sata and sata-II, but can i use a sata-III hdd on it?? I found a good hdd sata-III that is cheaper than the sata-II.. Plz reply:-)

@win2kpro 12 лет назад

Which would be better Synology DS212J, DS212 or NetGear RND2000 or RND2110? That is just for general itunes, ftp and mkv/divx/mp3 stream at home.

@geekanoids 12 лет назад

@M0nk3h95 No problems, still running fine.

@Br0llz 13 лет назад

Couple of questions for you, Can you use a web interface to access your files remotely? and is it compatible with the mac file transfer protocol?

@badger0681UK 14 лет назад

Dave - I have both mac and pc computers on my network. Can i use the nas drive to store files for both without problems. Which would you go for the lg with the blu ray disc burner or the net gear duo ?

@derekkjohnson 12 лет назад

Hi, had one of these for a while now, review is spot on but the fan is very very noisy during start up. What is the max size disk for this model? I currently have 1 750gb and 1 1Tb disk in it. Thanks ever so much.

@geekanoids 13 лет назад

@tierix This one in my opinion or a Synology.

@GertKlinge 13 лет назад

Hi. Very nice review. I have an Asus laptop without cd/dvd drive, is it possible to download drivers from Netgears site? And you mentioned that you can stream your content to your PS3. That means that you can stream to the xbox 360 as well right?

@geekanoids 14 лет назад

@pofrani Not a requirement.

@1man1nja 14 лет назад

good review. does it support other raid standards other than mirror?

@SxeD4ve 13 лет назад

hi dave! i wanna buy a nas and im having trouble to decide between the readynas duo and the readynas ultra. the duo is cheaper and the ultra has better hardware but is it worth the extra bucks? which one should i get?

@geekanoids 13 лет назад

@Qukken Should be fine.

@kanwaldeep 13 лет назад

will this work with Solid State Drives?

@geekanoids 12 лет назад

@louisvl10 Yes still audible, SSD would help.

@louisvl10 12 лет назад

Hi, I want to use this drive as multimedia drive (same room as my tv). Are the noise levels high? I'm planning to put 2.5" 5400RPM drives in it (with a 3.5 adaptor) to reduce the heat level and noise level, will the NAS still be audible with this config?

@ecotts 14 лет назад

@dalomesser plug it to your wireless router then it will be accessible over wifi..

@letsplayskatch 11 лет назад

Sorry, I know this is an 'old' video, but you mentioned this NAS drives' ability to stream to your PS3. If you're only using your PS3 to play the video/mp4/avi etc, then can you use an AppleTV device instead of a PS3? I have a 2012 MacBook Pro and would like to stream content from a NAS drive to an AppleTV device. Would this Netgear device support that? Cheers Dave, keep up the great reviews!

@supercoffman3000 11 лет назад

A very thorough and informative review. Thanks!

@geekanoids 13 лет назад

@SxeD4ve Well the Duo is fine for average use, though lately I have found Synology far outperform this model.

@pc121108 14 лет назад

is it compatible with mac or windows

@geekanoids 13 лет назад

@kanwaldeep It should do.

@dagame121 12 лет назад

Hey! Can you access your files outside of your home? thx for the reply in advance

@kilz7 12 лет назад

how much transfer rate you get when sending files ?

@geekanoids 14 лет назад

@mtxgamer Yes.

@at54tl 12 лет назад

I get slow transfer rates with my nasduo help!!

@geekanoids 14 лет назад

@pofrani Congrats!

@nicktheshmick 12 лет назад

is it possible to do Raid 0 on this NAS device?

@ecotts 14 лет назад

excellent review

@Duffman086 11 лет назад

Great review. Its was really thorough!

@WallyPCify 10 лет назад

Does the raid have to be the same type hard drives or can you buy a Seagate and WD

@d.e.b.b5788 8 лет назад

+Wally PCify Best to run two the same. I use two Seagate 2TB drives in raid 1 for the past 5 years.

@krist0sh 11 лет назад

3TB's per drive, the thing supports up to 6TB.

@tomytvideo 13 лет назад

only sata?

@DrunkenGameress 12 лет назад

Great review! Very helpful.

@MattMacD 6 лет назад

i have a few people on my wifi. could i add a password so they cant get into the nas?

@geekanoids 6 лет назад

Yes, you can add them as a user, with varying permissions to access only certain folders (for example).

@MattMacD 6 лет назад

Geekanoids excellent! Thanks

@geekanoids 13 лет назад

@jakezburns Yes.

@geekanoids 14 лет назад

@pc121108 It certainly is.

@geekanoids 14 лет назад

@jollino Good luck.

@einarknutsen 11 лет назад

Can you run ur own server on this?

@geekanoids 14 лет назад

@mrmyrtos It is good with Win7.

@SjoerdBeukers 12 лет назад

@normitogutierrez Thanks man. I tried that several times before. (you have to hold it for about 20 sec or so to do a full reset) didnt work

@krist0sh 11 лет назад

yup

@geekanoids 13 лет назад

@tollafield More configurable.

@SjoerdBeukers 12 лет назад

I am using this product now for more than a year. (2 x 500GB spinpoint F1) data rate 5 mbps on a good day maybe 10 mbps. Did everything.. disable everything exept smb. real factory reset a few times... (holding the reset button for a long time so it reinitialised) setting the mode from x-raid to raid-0 nothing is running on the system. It is a peace of crap!

@geekanoids 13 лет назад

@liamgreen94 They are easy.

@Qukken 12 лет назад

@davomrmac Tnx:)

@krist0sh 11 лет назад

90Mbps in read, and 60Mbps in write.

@set2light 14 лет назад

Lol, you don't need to use the raidar software to locate the readynas duo. In fact you don't need to install it at all!!! But I see that you're a mac user, you sorry fool.

@averagemale2000 12 лет назад

you need to work on your video capturing skills, tons of realestate being wasted with desktop crap. next time get a tighter shot of the web interface, this is basic stuff.
