Netgear offers cut price storage
NETGEAR said it is to cut the price on its line of ReadyNAS storage products in a bid to capture a larger share of the UK storage market.
The firm said the move was brought about by the "tough economic climate".
Mark Power, managing director of Netgear UK, said: “Consumers and businesses have less money to spend and have to justify every purchase. However, they also realise storing, sharing and protecting data in a reliable and secure manner is an integral part of their working and personal lives. This fact combined with the feedback from our partners in the Channel, meant that it made sense to change the pricing of our storage products to reflect the market conditions.”
The ReadyNAS range includes the ReadyNAS Duo aimed at the home user and the
Ready NAS NV+ and ReadyNAS Pro units which cater for business users.
The price-drop is effective immediately but will filter through to resellers and consumers, at different times the firm said a moment or two ago. µ

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).
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!
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.
