Where did February go??

Howdy!

Well, it's been quite some time since I have posted here.  I honestly don't know where February went!  Has anyone seen it?

Things have obviously been very busy lately and I apologize for not being around to answer tweets and emails.  I'm hoping to restart posting and am looking to start with a review of the Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 2.  I was lucky to receive one of these units and wanted to compare them to the Seagate BlackArmor NAS 110 I reviewed a few months back.

Now I know that this is not an apple to apple comparison, as the ReadyNAS and NAS 110 are in two completely different leagues, but figure these are all I have to work with (for now - hint hint vendors!!).


Just shortly after I started setting up the ReadyNAS, one of the hard drives that came with it failed (funny, it is a Seagate - how did they know?).  I am going to have to get some replacement drives before I can continue my tests, but do want to say that so far I've seen an average of about 40MBps when copying files from my Windows 7 system (Gigabit network) to the NAS. 

Once I get a new pair of hard drives, I will set them up and start further testing.  Stay tuned!
