CNET Review
The Good: Great read/write speeds; supports RAID 0, 1, 5; drives are hot-swappable; comes with backup software; includes print, DHCP, and file servers; compatible with UPnP media devices; generous warranty.
The Bad: It's pricey.
The Bottom Line: The Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ offers a lot in the way of features and performance, which is good, because it's expensive.
