I put off setting this system up because in reading the manuals and the reviews it was apparent that there are a lot of details to consider in getting the most out of it, many of which require some knowledge of the technical workings. It's a flexible system with lots of options. For now I just want top use it for backup, but it can do much more.<br /><br />I finally went with the simplest option to start with, the basic setup with default settings and, for my Mac, a Time Machine backup. Even that had a few wrinkles, such as deciding how much space to allocate for Time Machine. (For those who use Time Machine, ReadyNAS helpfully automatically sets up a portion of the drives of the size the user specifies. By default Time Machine would use all the space available on the drives.)<br /><br />The setup and Time Machine backup went smoothly, no glitches. I needed to consult the ReadyNAS software manual (available online), and in some cases had to hunt a bit for the right button to click next.<br /><br />The fan that operates whenever the unit is on has a soft but quite noticeable sound.<br /><br />The two 1-TB drives that came with this system are [[ASIN:B008LA60NW Toshiba DT01ACA100 7200 RPM drives]] (from November and December 2013). User reviews at Amazon and NewEgg suggest these aren't the ultimate in reliability, though they generally perform well. They make the redundancy of the default X-RAID configuration desirable. (In that configuration, the total data that can be stored on the two 1-TB drives is only 1 TB because of the redundant storage. If one drive fails, all the data can be recovered from the other.)<br /><br />The Toshiba drives are supposed to be energy efficient, which is good, because the ReadyNAS keeps them spinning continually when the unit is on. You can schedule times for the unit to power up and down, and you can remotely shut it down fairly easily. Remotely powering it up is a little trickier, but can be done via Wake on LAN. NetGear says they're working on a disk spindown option for their next software update (6.2.0).<br /><br />Screws are included to mount 2.5\" drives.<br /><br />The power cord is helpfully long, a little over 11 feet, in two pieces with a power brick in the middle.<br /><br />The construction is solid.working on a disk spindown option for their next software update (6.2.0).<br /><br />Screws are included to mount 2.5\" drives.<br /><br />The power cord is helpfully long, a little over 11 feet, in two pieces with a power brick in the middle.<br /><br />The construction is solid.
As simple or complicated as you like, works fine with Time Machine
