NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo 500GB (1 x 500GB)

A NAS (Network Attached Storage) Device for the Home

• 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 EVA products, Sonos® Digital Music System, Logitech Squeezebox™, Apple iTunes® clients, Sony Playstation® 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360®.
