ReadyNas RN104 - Bittorrent Client
I currently have a ReadyNas NV+ v1 and just realised today that Netgear have brought out a new range of NAS. I am interested in buying th ReadyNas RN104 and I have checked the features and specs but c...
In all honesty it for the most part seems like more of the same. It obviously has the cloud features like Readydrop but I don't use those.
It is nice to have snapshots finally. The genie app service is a horrible horrible experience.
The tool-less disk installation seems extremely flimsy. The plastic contraption seems like it will snap off at any time. They could have built those disk caddies better, especially for the price. I also don't like that the door is now glossy plastic. Not only seems cheaper but attracts a lot of dust and it really shows up.
I am glad they've finally bumped the ram up in these devices, albeit to only 512mb. They've been skimping on this for far too long. Add-ons run well with the specs, sabnzbd/couch potato/sickbeard/transmission all seem to have enough resources.
I wouldn't recommend this device as readily as previous models, it is still good but I would take a good look at the alternatives this time before making a choice on the readynas.
