Bump -- anybody have any knowledge of a desktop ReadyNAS gadget?

With 2 drive failures in the last month, I'd love to be able to keep a closer eye on my NAS.

have you setup ALERTS in Frontview? RAIDIATOR seems to be very informative with emails about pending trouble.

Not sure about the responses suggesting the Yahoo widget doesn't run on W7 - I am running it (v1.2) on W7 Ultimate 64 bit and it works well.

+1 for a W7 Gadget.

Yes, the Yahoo gadgets *could* work - but I'd rather keep my system simple - and not have to run the overhead of Yahoo Gadgets IN ADDITION to W7 Gadgets... just to get ReadyNAS compatibility.

Since i usually have screens open and don't want any of those covered by gadgets, I would really like to see a taskbar-toolbar (or whatever they are called) for my ReadyNAS. Just a few icons/words (temp/load/traffic/used diskspace or so) which can be placed next to the icons next to the clock (so not among those icons).

Right now I've got a network monitor and the iTunes toolbar there and there's plenty of space left for a few more things 🙂

I've posted a first version of my Windows 7 Raidar gadget here in this topic:

It basically does the same as the Yahoo! Raidar Widget. Please give any feedback regarding the gadget in the topic mentioned above.

I missed recent posts in this thread but yeah, people think a similar thought.

The idea of claykin and JarnoG is almost same as mine and so I developed my own app.
