I've been very close to buying a DroboFS many times. Beats leaving the power-hungry desktop on 24x7 for torrents, if nothing else. But the ctorrent client sounds like a pain, hard to tell how full-featured it is. I like just scp'ing the torrent file to my box and having the client pick it up automagically.

Drobo's RAID-like technology should blow the Netgear out of the water, too.

No matter what, calling it the death of local storage when it costs more than most peoples' computers is stretching things a bit.]]>Jul 8th 2010 11:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/Jul 8th 2010 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/
I've got MediaTomb running DLNA to my roommate's iPhone and my PS3 and I won't be regretting this purchase anytime soon.]]>Jul 8th 2010 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/
In comparison to the particular device on which we are commenting, the DroboFS seems like a better fit.

(I do realize the CPU may be better on this Netgear device, so if you are doing transcoding and file decompression on it, it may be a better choice, ...but I doubt it?)]]>Jul 8th 2010 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/I actually have a NAS (Netgear ReadyNAS Duo) that's worked great so far.

Maybe when everything is broadcast in 2160p and we have 50MPixel cameras, I'll need another 4-6 bay NAS and I'll pick one of these up!]]>Jul 9th 2010 6:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/
I am sure someone else will come up with something substantive to complain about with these boxes. They seem like the sort of thing that would be really cool if you could run the software of your own choosing on them assuming the hardware is up to the task.]]>Jul 9th 2010 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/Jul 8th 2010 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/
I use FreeNAS too, and am very happy with how stable it is, but if you want to use it for torrent downloads, it's a big pain. Transmission seems to have a memory leak that kills it after a few hours.

Other than that, thumbs up for FreeNAS.]]>Jul 9th 2010 6:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/
I'm also using FreNAS with a Via Artigo A2000 and mirrored 1.5TB drives. It only uses about 35W at idle, has GigE, and is generally fast and reliable. Read times are as fast as the local drive on my laptop, and writes are only slightly slower on large files.

The only bug I've noticed is that the DLNA/UPNP service doesn't always update the available music without restarting the service. Not a big deal for me since I just map drives on my playback devices, but it could be a deal breaker for some.]]>Jul 9th 2010 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/
If you can setup a DLNA VPN that'll be cool :)]]>Jul 8th 2010 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/Jul 8th 2010 11:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/Jul 8th 2010 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/
You should compare specs before jumping to conclusions.]]>Jul 9th 2010 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/Jul 8th 2010 11:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/Jul 8th 2010 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/Jul 8th 2010 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/Jul 9th 2010 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/
Thats not entirely true. After all, TiVo streams netflix.

The "stora" product has not been able to stream HD files with high bit rates and still isn't fixed.

I would stay as far away from Netgear network storage devices as possible.]]>Jul 9th 2010 4:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/Jul 9th 2010 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/Jul 9th 2010 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/Jul 9th 2010 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/Jul 9th 2010 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/Jul 9th 2010 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/
I just bought a HP EX490 (495 isn't available outside the states) and will be chucking 8tb in it with an intel e7500. Wont cost me much more than this rubbish and will do tonnes more.

I'm glad I didn't buy a NAS earlier this year when considering it.]]>Jul 9th 2010 9:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/netgears-readynas-ultra-4-and-ultra-6-stream-to-tivo-mobile-a/HP Mediasmart does not do RAID. No truely common environment for filestorage for MAC, Linux and PC. By the time you expand the storage to same as a NetGear NAS, cost is comparable. No offsite sync via rsync to another device. WHS is nice, but not quite comparing apples to apples here.]]>Aug 6th 2010 2:11PM
