Auto Power On After Power Failure
Hello. We have been using Buffalo for quite some time now but we have really started to have problems with their units in that they don't auto power on after a power outage, so any time there is a p...
The ReadyNAS unit you pointed out, should indeed have automatic power-on feature if it experiences a power failure.
I would caution against buying ReadyNAS right now though. I own and use RN units and I like their hardware a lot, but the last few years it looks like Netgear has abandoned ship with regards to ReadyNAS. I suggest looking at this thread, where that has been discussed too:

Software updates are far and few between and most of the software is really outdated at this point. Example of this, is the newest FW release that has a severe backup bug and it has been discussed a lot on the forums. Yet, Netgear chooses to not communicate at all or fix it. It is pretty clear that the RN line is dead in the water. It has been a good 3-4 years since we even saw new RN product releases. My advise would be to go with some other good brand, like QNAP or Synology.
