I have around 40 ReadyNAS devices out in the field and own a brand new Pro4 myself.
As of today, Netgear effectively "End of Lifed" ALL existing devices below the ReadyNAS 2100.

If you want cheap NAS devices with a nice feature set and good interface, go for Synology.

Will still be monitoring ReadyDATA for my video clients.
