          I've seen online stores carry it in the $360 - $410 range.

                There is even a handy, online, web-based file browser that allows you to work with files without needing to access through a mapped drive or other mechanism.

                    There is a rather robust backup mechanism that can be used to do local backups to other local locations (like RAID array to external USB drive) or local array to a remote system or even to automate remote backups to the local drives. Very useful.

                      You can assign any backup task that you want to the physical "Backup Button" on the front of the chassis.

                        The ReadyNAS 312 can be used as a TimeMachine for your Apple Mac computers too.

                          The ReadyNAS comes pre-configured with access to two cloud services for hosted backups - the ReadyNAS Vault service and Dropbox.

                            The ReadyNAS has a number of service offerings for remote use of the storage device as well.

                              A large number of built in applications are available that can be added to your ReadyNAS to extend its functionality beyond the base functionality. Some of the most interesting and important ones include ownCloud (for hosting your own cloud storage system), ReadyNAS Photos II (for hosting your own photo sharing site), VirtualHere USB Server (USB device sharing), AntiVirus Plus (managed AV for your NAS), WordPress (web hosting), DNS server, relational database server, LineSurvey (survey system), wiki, istat (iPhone NAS monitoring tool), VPN server, RADIUS server, syslog server, LogAnalyzer, LDAP server, Cacti, SugarCRM, Asterisk and much more. A very large, and growing, application repository is ready for you.

                                Just wanted to say: outstanding review. You couldn't even get this nice of an explanation from the ReadyNAS website itself. Thanks.

                                  Well -

                                  YOu can just about count on a Purchase Order going up the ladder tomorrow for one. Get one here learn it and then place one at home for myself.

                                  Thanks @scottalanmiller - Really nicely done. (Not to mention I know who to call one when I have a Ooopps!)

                                          100Mb/s switch, of course.

                                            Had to look for my answer, so thought I would drop the link over.
