I haven't been able to set it up. The plastic HDD trays are flimsy and terribly designed. The HDDs don't screw into the trays, instead, they use cheap plastic "nipples". All of which broke off when trying to put the HDDs in. I'm a computer systems engineer, so I know what I'm doing - and Netgear has always been fine for home use, which is why I bought this to replace my Zyxel NAS. My wireless switch/router is Netgear and has worked great, so I thought this would be a good pairing. I was wrong. Now I regret buying it. I've had it for probably six months now and I haven't even bothered to mess with it. It should've been trouble free out of the box. I shouldn't have to troubleshoot & fix a brand new product with sub-par buuild quality. IMHO: Stay away from it.

The device was easy to physically set up, my 2TB HD slipped right in and took off just fine. But when I plugged in the 1TB drive in an external case the fun began. I had my old NAS copied to the 1TB drive and spent hours trying to copy that to the new NAS. Once I did, it somehow lost some of the files, and some apparently wound up in the drive's root directory which is a "no-no". I started getting email notifications every 10 minutes that there was an error on root, it was too full and I should not get this error. It would not allow me to access root, it just complained every 10 minutes like a bloomin' cuckoo clock. 144 emails a day, every day. I finally opened a case with support, and after a week of back and forth they asked for permission to access my drive which I gave. They finally fixed it, and told me how I could get root access, but instead should contact them if it happened again. When I tried to activate root access, the software told me that would cancel tech support and don't do it. Once I finally got the thing working, all was good until one of my directories just disappeared. When I plugged in the external drive it was not recognized. I was able to plug it into the computer and transfer the files, but remember I had plugged the exact same drive into the NAS before with no recognition problems. In it's defense, the transfer was at double the best network transfer speeds I had ever seen, so that was good. I am not sure I can recommend this device unless you are a masochist and enjoy taking two or three weeks to get it working. Netgear tech support was just super, although they were a bit slow. Physically the NAS is great, well designed and easy to install drives into, just the setup is from hell, or was for me. BTW, I have been building, repairing and using computers since the old Atari 400 in the early eighties, so I DO know what I am doing.Read full review

Unit was used, but came well packaged on time. I have other units and this worked out of the box as expected. Netgear does a good job with their readynas software, making it easy this back up to and control it and others from 1 menu.

We use larger ones at work and these smaller ones work great for storing and protecting your files.

Software was easy to install, it did the hard work locating the network info. Easy to install drives. All this came easy after you read the users guide especially the section on formatting the drives before installing them.
