 ReadyNAS for Business RAIDiator 4.2.17
What is the NETGEAR ReadyNAS?
NETGEAR® ReadyNAS® for Business RAIDiator 4.2.17 network storage products provide 
businesses and home users with easy-to-use, high-performance gigabit network attached 
storage (NAS) solutions used to share and protect data.
ReadyNAS systems enable users across the LAN, or WAN, or over the Internet to back up 
and share data from Windows, Macintosh, and Linux systems. 
Offering extensible, high-availability data protection, ReadyNAS systems come with robust, 
fail-safe features that can include: 
•     
ECC memory that safeguards data from single-bit errors in memory (3100, 3200, 
4200)
•     
Support for RAID 0, 1, 5, and 6, plus hot spare (RAID 6 on Pro, 3200, and 4200)
•     
Dual redundant Gigabit Ethernet ports
•     
NETGEAR’s proprietary X-RAID2
TM
 for automatic volume expansion
•     
Redundant power supplies (3100, 3200, and 4200)
In addition to providing NAS functionality, on selected ReadyNAS units you can set up iSCSI 
volumes so that the ReadyNAS can simultaneously act as a SAN (storage area network).
Your ReadyNAS continually monitors the entire system for abnormal situations or failures. 
Status indicators provide quick hardware and software status readings, and email alerts 
inform you about critical events in the system. 
Additionally, with the FrontView Management Console, the ReadyNAS can be customized 
with a wealth of add-on features developed by NETGEAR, NETGEAR’s partners, and the 
ReadyNAS development community.
