Netgear consistently produces high-quality networking devices, but the company has been dragging its feet in the network attached storage (NAS) market. Thankfully, all is about to change. The ReadyNAS NV+ is the
first product to hit the market since Netgear's acquisition of privately-held Infrant Technologies earlier this year. The ReadyNAS NV+ is powered by Infrant's proprietary network storage processor, Linux-based RAIDiator operating system and patent-pending Expandable Protection (X-RAID) technology, which allows for automatic RAID volume expansion as additional drives are added. Not only that, but the device looks fantastic thanks to its robust aluminium enclosure and Power Mac G5 front grill.
