Re: Netgear ReadyNAS Pro?

I'll jump in.

I have  been using the ReadyNAS Duo for the last couple of months.  It 
is a Linux box in a nice small form factor.   Not hot swapable for the 
drives on this model.  It came with a single 500GB and I added a 2nd 
drive, giving 461GB of mirror drive space.  Primarily used for storing 
music, videos, Lenovo ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery images  and the 
Software install programs.  And it is only 55% full.

Direct drive mapping works well, with fine performance for about 4 users. 

The iTunes Server used to work fine until the iTunes was updated to v8.  
Now the server portion is broken, but it still works as an added library 
into iTunes.

Quiet, compact and no fans.  Work for me and the price was a total of 
about $230 for the setup, but my company buys from the distributors.

Just FYI
