Just about Perfect

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 12, 2010

Verified Purchase

My use is probably pretty far out there - I am hosting a dozen servers via iSCSI (using Citrix XenServer) for a test lab. We needed an inexpensive iSCSI device with decent capacity for a 7x24 lab.
Well, the Netgear NeadyNAS Ultra 6 delivers.
I purchased it about 3 months ago and it has been rock solid - I started with 3 drives and added one more after a week and then another - five in use now.
It may be a quiet unit - in our datacenter there is so much fan noise from other equipment all I can is the Ultra can't be heard above other less-quiet boxes.
It runs cool, starts very quickly, and so far has had no hiccups with inexpensive Western Digital Cavaiar Black 1TB drives.
We don't use any of the Tivo or other options.
We do boot 4 XenServers (hypervisors) and load 12 virtual servers off of the shared storage on the ReadyNAS. We allowed the Netgear box to use its default storage configuration, a proprietary RAID architecture - and no problems there. Adding the additional drivers worked just as advertised - plug in the drive, and in about 24 hours (maybe less) the drive is a member of the RAID configuration.
Setup and connection with iSCSI was so flawless and easy we thought we were missing something. No, it's really "that easy". iSCSI allows server grade equipment to connect and use it as shared storage.
We were not expecting performance to challenge EMC or NetApp or Equallogic - we wanted fast and cheap. However, the performance is "very good" with one caveat - don't try to run a dozen servers *and* add a disk - we found out during the period where the additional drive is joining the array you will probably (we did) drop connections. Let the NetGear do it's thing, then reboot the devices on the shared storage.
This is a very high quality prosumer device that will deliver excellent value for your bucks. Recommended.

Non User Replaceable Parts And And Obsolete Operating System

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 26, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have owned three ReadyNAS boxes over the years. I first became interested in purchasing one to provide mass storage of media on my home network. I consider myself an advanced user, not a network engineer, so the NAS concept appealed to me more than building my own box. I purchased ReadyNAS over the others because I was familiar with the Netgear name and the positive reviews of the Infrant boxes, the company that Netgear bought. I have stayed with them because of "the devil you know" syndrome but I have never been really overjoyed with them. Finally two things happened recently that has made me make the switch to another brand.

1. Fans are not user replaceable - I owned a ReadyNAS Pro before this box. Recently the CPU fan started making a lot of intermittent noise. Knowing that the fan bearing is going and not wanting to have a fire hazard I searched the web for a replacement part. What I found is that Netgear considers this a non user replaceable part and I have to ship the whole box back to them for service. All that for a $4 fan! The boxes are very expensive and the idea of being down for an undetermined time and paying unnecessary fees to fix something so simple seems like very poor design planning.

2. Software on all current models is now obsolete - OK I am lazy so instead of researching other brands I solved my fan problem by buying another ReadyNAS, the ultra. Now I find out that Netgear is coming out with OS6 which supersedes ALL other operating systems for ALL of their NAS models and they are not providing ANY upgrade solutions for ANY models. Here is the announcement link([...]). Talk about feeling let down. So much for customer loyalty.

So now I am sitting here with an $700 box that is obsolete and can be taken down by a fan bearing. So considering "straws and camels backs" I am sending this unit back and saying goodbye to Netgear. It is times like this that I cannot say enough for the Amazon return policy. Amazon is the best in the business.

To replace the Ultra I just purchased and am in the process of installing a Synology DS1512+. The GUI is far superior to the Netgear products and the fans are not only easily replaceable but the box warns you when they are about to go. The transfer speed is far superior to the Ultra as well. In my setup, the Ultra was giving me a transfer speed of 20+ MB/sec. The same data over the same network is transferring at about 45 MB/sec. Both speeds are slow I know but remember I am no network engineer. Also from what I can tell Synology already has all of the upgrades that Netgear is proposing in OS6 so now i have a proven box that is state of the art.

In summary, the ReadyNAS is not a bad product and I know that a lot of people like it. However a NAS box is an expensive luxury so before you buy on name recognition alone, do your research and I think that you will find a better solution than ReadyNAS.

Works well with TiVos as of software version 4.2.14

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 2, 2010

Verified Purchase

I bought this purely for use with my TiVos. This review of the Ultra 6 is from a use-with-TiVo point of view. It does have full Network Attached Storage capability for storing any and all of your other computer files, music, etc.

Unfortunately, as shipped, the software it came with (4.2.12) did not work well with TiVos. Neither did 4.2.13.

Netgear has listened, learned, and responded. Software version 4.2.14-T14 (T14 is beta version just released the week of this review) works VERY well with TiVos. All problems that I have experienced have been fixed, and some useful backdoor features added.

Thus, I can rate it at 4 stars, despite previous problems.

The TiVo function of the Ultra 6 will automatically transfer TiVo shows flagged as Keep Until I Delete (GREEN circle) from your TiVo(s) to the Ultra 6.

If it would transfer non-KUID-flagged shows (YELLOW circle) as well, I would rate it at 5 stars.

It will not transfer shows that have the copy protection flag set by the broadcaster.

On TiVo series 3 models, the transfer is slow, due to the series 3 TiVo hardware, not the Ultra 6. A 1 hour high def broadcast show (~6 GB) will take about 1 hour to transfer.

A series 4 Premiere TiVo will transfer much faster, due to changes inside the series 4 hardware compared to the series 3 hardware.

The Ultra 6 appears at the bottom of the TiVo Now Playing list. Select it to display the shows on the Ultra. Select a show and transfer it back to your TiVo to watch it.

With all six drive bays of the Ultra 6 filled with 2 TB drives in a RAID configuration that allows a single drive failure, you get 9 TB of space for your TiVo shows and any other files.
