NETGEAR has announced that the NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo Home Media Server topped the competition in a roundup of new network-attached storage (NAS) devices published by PC World. The article, which can be viewed at http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,145158/article.html, praised the ReadyNAS Duo for its “home-friendly” feature set, ease-of-use, affordability, sturdy construction, and superior performance.
As a result of the testing conducted during the NAS roundup, the ReadyNAS Duo earned first place and the Best Buy designation on PC World’s chart of Top 5 Network-Attached Storage Drives. NETGEAR’s business-class ReadyNAS NV+ holds the second-place ranking on the PC World Top 5 chart.
“The Duo sailed through our performance trials, finishing all but one test at record speeds, beating even the (ReadyNAS) NV+, our previous NAS-device performance champ,” wrote Darren Gladstone, senior editor at PC World. “This handsome unit has sturdy construction, with easy-to-access drive bays. Pop in a second drive, and by default the Duo will mirror the primary drive’s contents to the second drive. An extra boon: the device stores its operating system in flash memory, so you could replace the primary drive with a larger one.”
“We’re very excited to have both our consumer-focused ReadyNAS Duo and business-class ReadyNAS NV+ ranked as the top two network-attached storage devices by PC World,” stated Sam Feng, director of product marketing for NETGEAR storage products. “The results published in the article validate our efforts to deliver to consumers an affordable, easy-to-use, high-performance data storage and media server solution. The ReadyNAS Duo is a robust NAS solution that not only enables users to store, share and protect valuable digital content from across the home network, but also serves as a media streaming device that can serve digital videos, music and photographs to game consoles and set-top boxes, making it an ideal all-in-one storage and server solution for today’s digitally connected home.”
The NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo, which is housed in a strong metal chassis to add an extra layer of protection for consumers’ valuable digital content, is backed by a three-year hardware warranty and is available via leading retailers, direct marketers, e-commerce sites and value added resellers at a retail price in the U.S. starting at $399 including one 500GB drive.
