What our customer say? 
Thats the best thing I ever did. Anybody with 2 Computers should look into the options. My Backup is automatic now and I can forget about it. - Bruce Hales (Seaquest)

 A NAS (Network Attached Storage) Device for Business and Home Network

• Provides extra storage that can be conveniently shared with all your computers 
  The ReadyNAS Duo is perfect for homes with more than one computer. Unlike a USB drive, the ReadyNAS connects to the network and is simultaneously accessible via all connected Windows or Macintosh computers.
• Access stored content anywhere via the Internet 
  If there is a broadband Internet connection and a home router, the ReadyNAS can be set up to provide secure access to all the stored files remotely via the Internet.
• Optional “spare” hard drive protects against drive failure by making a duplicate copy of all your data 
  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.
• Supports most network music, picture and video players 
  Advanced media streaming support allows the ReadyNAS to directly serve media, with no PC required, to devices such as the NETGEAR EVA products, Sonos® Digital Music System, Logitech Squeezebox™, Apple iTunes® clients, Sony Playstation® 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360®.
• Embedded BitTorrent™ client for direct downloading from the Internet 
  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 combine it with the NETGEAR EVA products to bring media to your entertainment center
• ReadyNAS Vault™ 
  Integrated offsite backup for files and folders. Optional ReadyNAS Vault backup software is built right into all ReadyNAS storage systems. Simply determine what you want protected and ReadyNAS Vault automatically and securely handles the rest
