No, it's not.

Any suggestions for a good modern NAS system are very welcome too.
All ReadyNas are end-of-life, so it is pretty clear that Netgear has exited the storage business.
If I were looking for a new NAS, I'd be considering
- Asustor
- Q-NAP
- Synology
in no particular order.
A USB-C or Thunderbolt enclosure that connects to a PC is another option I'd be thinking about.
Though if your storage needs are modest (and you have fast internet service), you should also consider cloud storage. A two-base NAS with 2x2TB NAS-purposed drives would cost ~$350 USD. 2 TB of cloud storage can be purchased for about $10 USD/month.
