Review: Infrant ReadyNAS NV

OK kids! It’s time to get NAS-ty with Infrant ReadyNAS NV. Cool, perhaps. But this sucker is anything but quiet. Well, that is unless noise is not an issue for you.

My previous look at Infrant’s ReadyNAS 600 and X6 concluded that they were full-featured Terabyte-capacity, RAID-enabled, gigabit Ethernet NASes that were worth the slight price premium over competitive products. The only downside was trying to decide between the 600’s manual RAID approach or the X6’s automatic X-RAID feature.

Infrant apparently saw the same quandary that their potential customers were in and decided to do something about it. The result is the ReadyNAS NV, a sexy new reincarnation of Infrant’s best-in-class NAS. The NV is an evolutionary step and has all the functions of the previous products, plus a few new RAID features. But most buyers will be first attracted by its compact new enclosure, so let’s start with that. Source: TH
