None of the ReadyNAS devices offer a built-in switch, however, the ReadyNAS Pro offers dual ethernet ports. The 2 ports can be used for bonding, fail-over or connecting to 2 separate subnets (via static routes).

All models support NFS protocol, as well as CIFS/SMF, AFP, FTP, HTTP/S and rsync. There's also support for iSCSI and TimeMachine. The Pro models also offer support for active directory.

Again, all models have the capability to support well over 1 TB of storage. Volume size depends on size and number of disks.
Are you looking for rack-mount or desktop chassis? Do you need Windows Active Directory integration? For desktop models, take a look at the ReadyNAS Pro 4. For rack-mount, have a look at the 2100 or 3100:
