NETGEAR RNDP6000-200NAS Diskless System ReadyNAS Pro 6 Diskless 6-bay + SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab 2 + Western Digital Elements 2TB for $799 + Free Shipping

Not too many reviews on the NAS on Amazon/Newegg. I purchased a Synology disk station a while back and while it had a good feature set, it was disappointingly slow.

Anyone here use one of these and have an opinion? Price looks good.

Is it just me or is this a really random combo? A 6-bay NAS system with an external drive you can't remove the HD from and a tablet?

Yep, pretty random. ~$300 worth of gear offsetting the cost of a $800 NAS.

haha, so true.. that's the first thought I'd after seeing the title

That is what I thought. Why you would make a combo with these items???

Yes, It got few reviews but most of them are favorable. It got Intel Dual-Core CPU E5300 @ 2.60GHz and 1GB of RAM. So, it should be quite powerful.

Been waiting for NAS drive deal for a while, but haven't seen one so far. My budget is below 300 (including the drive). Any suggestions? TIA.

if you aren't afraid of tinkering unraid + esxi = unlimited potential, you sacrifice speed, but get more flexibility in the long run.

If you don't have the "+" model, then it would be a bit slow but not as slow as say D-Link's. I have the 212+ and easily get 50-80MB/sec.

might not be random combo at all. a NAS + a Galaxy tab (to watch netflix while building your NAS) + (external harddrive so you can also watch your porn collection on your Galaxy tab) while building the NAS....

which model is it? also, how are you connected to it... there's atleast 4 to 5 factors affecting slow transfer speeds. I have a DS411slim which nets me the maximum allowed by my home wifi network (8MB/s) or 64mbps

I have an older version of the net gear NASs, the NV+. It's been fantastic, can't recommend enough for anyone with a small business or is just crazy about reliability (like me).

As far as the pairing goes, if you install 6-2TB drives, you'll have an insane amount of storage for media. I personally have all my photos (~500GB) ripped all of my old CDs (~700GB of music) & many of my DVDs & BRDs (~4TB). Soooo convenient. allowed me to pack away all of those tacky discs to boxes as back ups. I can also DLNA stream anything on my NAS to just about any device (computers, TVs, game consoles, wdtv, phones, &, yes, tablets).

Actually my company is about to purchase this. External HDD for moving backups over and Galaxy Tab for me
