the next BIG or small Thing...(Interface Redesign)
...i love the ReadyNAS and it's great Performence, also the stable System. The Interface ist let's say it very simpl and functional. There are a number of other NAS-Bulder where you have skins, or eve...
I wouldn't hold your breath.
Netgear has LONG been notorious for the "minimalist" nature of their GUI's, I've experienced this from my very first purchase (A DG814 ADSL router).
While it would be nice to see a sexy-looking AJAX style interface, personally i'd be more inclined to let them iron out the bugs in the underlying OS on the NAS products, and leave the GUI if that's what it takes.
Before my ReadyNAS Duo (and now Ultra 4) I was using a Maxtor Shared Storage II. It had a really nice interface... Sadly that's where the positive points about it ended. It was noisy, regularly overheated, and the dual drive models were notorious for having one of the drives fail and take the entire unit with it.
When the (cheap & nasty) 40mm fan died in the 500GB model i owned, I ripped it open, savlaged the drive for reuse, binned the rest and bought the Duo. I've never looked back since.
