NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator 4.1.5 Released
NETGEAR has made available the 4.1.5 release of the RAIDiator firmware (operating system) that their ReadyNAS line of personal NAS devices run.

Sunday, February 15, 2009
Every since I got my Infrant (now NETGEAR) ReadyNAS NV+, I’ve been using the Print Server feature of it to hook my HP LaserJet 1200 series printer to it.

Thursday, June 26, 2008
If you are like me, you probably use your PS3 to stream media from a NAS at home or something; either from the NAS directly or via a computer using TVersity. If you have begun to dabble with streaming HD content, either 720p or 1080p, you may have noticed that the PS3’s playback of that media [...]

Saturday, September 1, 2007
For the NAS folks out there with a ReadyNAS device, the RAIDiator 4 beta releases are up to Beta 3 now. From the quick scan of the long thread, things seem pretty smooth so far. So the hot item included in RAIDiator 4 for me is: Embedded UPnP AV service now supports streaming to Xbox360 and [...]

Monday, January 15, 2007
So my current personal project is to build a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. In the most vanilla sense, the purpose of a NAS is to be a little headless (no video card or monitor) network connected device that has a custom operating system on it usually and just holds a ton of hard drives [...]
