![]() ![]() Our cats like hanging out on our desks with us, so keep a can of air around if you have pets because you will have fur sticking all over it and need to clean it out regularly to run at peak performance.The device itself looks pretty nice so I don't mind having it on my desk.The box may look large, but the device itself is on the smaller side, which is nice since my desk space is at a premium I appreciate that the device is small.I love that you can easily see the diagnostics of how the NAS is running.Īs a novice NAS user, here is what I thought about the NETGEAR ReadyNAS 212: One small negative he did find is that the hard drive cradles could use some improvement as they can be a bit stiff getting the drives in and out.While it's easy for the average home user to use, it also has a lot of advanced network customization options that he appreciates.Dual ethernet ports are a big plus as you can configure them to double the link speed from 1GB to 2GB or have the NAS on 2 different networks.Since the NAS uses DHCP, the IP's were automatically assigned which helps makes setup and access really easy and quick.Really easy to setup - just plug it in, go to the website in the instructions, and then a scan should start that finds the NAS.Savvy is more experienced with these sorts of items, I let him set it up and give it the first try. Here are his initial thoughts about the NETGEAR ReadyNAS 212: Savvy is a Systems Administrator and was all sorts of giddy over us having an at-home NAS. Savvy and myself work in tech related fields, we have a lot of files to store and have been looking for an easier solution to stream media to our Playstation and other devices, so I really liked the idea of having a NAS. I consider myself to be a pretty tech savvy person, but I'm honestly not overly familiar with using a NAS. ![]() Comes with all the cables you should need, but you will need to purchase the hard drives depending on the model you purchase.Several apps available to customize what you want your NAS to do.1080p HD real-time streaming and transcoding.Built-in anti-virus scanning that has near-zero loss of throughput while scanning.Advanced BTRFS file system that offers 5 levels of complete data protection. ![]()
