The SC-101 was only a piece of crap developed by Netgear.

ReadyNas, the whole family has been developed by a Company named "Infrant" which did a very good job, unfortunately Netgear bought them.

My ReadyNas is running like a charm since almost months and it's still "Infrant" branded only the Firmware is showing sign of the new Owner, but it still works and it is still a fine product.

I will probably never by a Netgear storage product again no matter how low the price!

A year back i bought an SC-101. The firmware was so bad it made the product useless.

It did not display correct info on the disks and partitions it was counter intitive and fucked up all my data!

The firmware never even let the disks spin down and with inadiqate cooling one disk soon died.

Recently i tried upgrading the firmware and client software witch again put me in hell!

It was imposible to install the new software and when i tried to remove what was already installed it fucked up my client computer to the point it could not even find its own system disk!

Netger would have to pay me to tray any of their storage products again!

It's about time. The NV+ shot up almost £100 more than what is was early last year. But for some strange reason the diskless version (£747.48) on Dabs costs more money than the version that comes with 1TB (£667.26).
