ReadyShare seems to suck

Is anyone else actually using ReadyShare and getting it to work?   I recently added a HD to my Nighthawk X6 (R8000/AC3200) and enabled the readyshare. Both my computers see it and I started backups...

    You can use any backup software on a Readyshare drive.

     

    I wouldn't trust Netgear's software to match the performance of a specialist package.

     

    SyncBackPro does a good job.

Which HD?

 

What backup software?

 

Readyshare is pretty basic. People who want reliable added drives often go down the NAS road.
