The NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo (RND2000) is perfect for homes with more than one computer. Unlike a USB drive, the NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo 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 NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo can be set up to provide secure access to all the stored files remotely via the Internet. 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. Advanced media streaming support allows the NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo to directly serve media, with no PC required. Officially licensed BitTorrent client allows downloading to occur without the need for an additional computer. A web-based interface facilitates download management from computers, and a special NETGEAR digital entertainer interface allows management from the selected NETGEAR device.

Why Buy?
- Media Server. The ReadyNAS can stream music, video, and photos to just about any popular network-capable media streaming device without the need to turn on your PC or Mac. Just drag & drop your media files to the ReadyNAS and play them on your streaming device, whether it’s a Playstation 3, XBOX 360 or pretty much any DLNA-compliant device. Small wireless music streamers have also become popular in the home, and the ReadyNAS can be central to serving music files to these devices. The Logitech Squeezebox™, SONOS® Digital Music System, and the Roku SoundBridge are just some of the players supported by the ReadyNAS right out of the box.
- ReadyNAS Photos. Photo sharing just got a lot more convenient. With ReadyNAS Photos on the Duo, simply connect your camera to automatically upload your pictures to the Duo, and you can quickly create albums that you can share straight from the ReadyNAS. Your friends and family will get a cool postcard in the email and all they need to do is click on the link to see the slideshow or the albums you’ve shared to them
- Built-in BitTorrent™ client. The officially licensed BitTorrent client can really make use of the disk space provided by the ReadyNAS. And because it is a stand-alone client, there’s no need to keep your computer on during the download. Just queue the torrents on the ReadyNAS and let it do it’s job in the background.
- Easy disk replacement eases the stress of a disk failure. Disk failure is inevitable and if you’ve been using computers for any length of time, you know it’s not a matter of if but when. So when that time comes, you certainly don’t want to have to fumble your way through trying to disassembling your device. With the Duo, simply press on the latch to release the disk tray, remove 4 screws that attaches the disk to the tray, replace with a new disk, and insert the disk back into the chassis, all while the unit is powered off or on.
- Mac users love the ReadyNAS. Unlike other NAS that support Macs through a Windows SMB/CIFS protocol, the ReadyNAS supports the protocol that works best with Macs — AFP. With AFP, non-standard characters in filenames are not a problem, and resource information that would cause problems over SMB is not an issue.
