A CES Innovations Award honoree, new Network Attached Storage device transfers files up to a stunning 200 MBps for the ultimate way to store, stream, and protect your data

LAS VEGAS — January 5, 2015 — NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTGR) (www.netgear.com), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, is expanding its award-winning family of world-class Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices with the performance-driven ReadyNAS® 200 Series (netgear.com/readynas-for-home) for home and home office networks. Available in two- and four-bay desktop models (RN202, RN204) for media enthusiasts, photo hobbyists, and the home power user, ReadyNAS 200 is launching at the 2015 International CES® trade show, where it is a CES Innovations Award honoree. The ReadyNAS 200 series is among the many exciting products that NETGEAR is demonstrating to press, customers, and channel partners this week in their suite in the Marriott Las Vegas.

ReadyNAS 200 is powered by a Dual Core Cortex A15 1.4 GHz processor, 2 gigabytes (GB) of Random Access Memory (RAM), and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports with Link Aggregation technology. You’ll love the performance of ReadyNAS 200 for faster backups and faster file access, especially if you have a newly upgraded 802.11ac WiFi network. ReadyNAS 200 transfers files up to an amazing 200 MBps* (megabytes per second), double the throughput of competing devices in its class.

“Our ReadyNAS 200 Series is simply the best storage solution on the market today for the home power user,” said Matt Pahnke, senior product marketing manager for NETGEAR Storage. “It outclasses the competition in every way that counts – in performance, speed, memory, data protection, and ease of use. It’s jam-packed with 100-plus advanced features and add-on apps so you can customize it to meet your particular needs. There’s no other NAS today aimed at media streaming enthusiasts and photos hobbyists that offers this caliber of performance and protection.”

Packed with state-of-the-art features, ReadyNAS 200 truly offers the best performance in its value class for storing, streaming and protecting all your precious photos, videos and files. At the heart of ReadyNAS 200 is the groundbreaking ReadyNAS operating system (OS 6.2) that features industry-first technology in data protection, backup, sync, and cloud-based management.

ReadyNAS with ReadyCLOUD™ — a personal cloud alternative to Dropbox or Google Drive

ReadyNAS 200 offers you the powerful benefits of public cloud storage for automatic backing up, syncing, and sharing data across devices, but without the ongoing subscription costs or the serious privacy concerns. With ReadyCLOUD, you can access files stored on your ReadyNAS from anywhere, from any web browser, using any web-connected device, so you enjoy the same single, unified web interface whether you’re at home or away. ReadyCLOUD apps for desktop PCs and iOS and Android™ mobile devices set a new standard for simplicity. You can select any folder on your NAS as a sync folder to PCs and can even share files with a single click. Best of all, your files are securely stored on your ReadyNAS, not in the cloud as with Dropbox® and Google Drive™. With ReadyCLOUD, sharing content has never been easier — or safer.

Next-gen BTRFS file system enabling 5 layers of data protection

ReadyNAS 200 provides home users with the most complete data protection available in its product class. Its foundation is a next-gen BTRFS file system in the ReadyNAS OS offering 5 levels of protection: (1) files written across multiple drives for RAID protection from disk failure; (2) files automatically protected against common media degradation or bitrot; (3) files continuously protected by snapshot technology for point-in-time recovery; (4) files secured in real-time against viruses and malware; and (5) files easily replicated to the cloud or a second ReadyNAS.

Easy setup and customization with 100+ advanced settings

Thanks to the innovative ReadyNAS OS, ReadyNAS 200 has a 100-percent-cloud-based setup — no client download required. ReadyNAS 200 is automatically discovered on your network and you can even hot swap disks. If you’re an advanced user, you can also customize ReadyNAS 200 just the way you like, with more than 100 advanced features and add-on applications.
