The Netgear RND2000 ReadyNAS Duo v2 (Diskless) helps office and home users to store data in one central location without compromising on price, quality and performance. The ReadyNAS connects to the network and is simultaneously accessible via all connected Windows or Macintosh computers. 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.
For added protection of the stored data, an optional second hard disk drive can be installed. The spare drive keeps an extra copy of all the data and instantly takes over if the first hard drive fails. Advanced media streaming support allows the ReadyNAS to directly serve media, with no PC required, to devices such as the Netgear EVA products, Sonos Digital Music System, Logitech Squeezebox, Apple iTunes clients, Sony Playstation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360.
All ReadyNAS systems support the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) and Apple Time Machine so multiple Mac users can use a central location to share files and do backups. Bonjour software enables auto-discovery and Macintosh status monitoring widgets are also supported.
