The latest storage solution from leading networking and storage vendor, NETGEAR, has been awarded the prestigious 'Recommended' accolade from TrustedReviews, the UK's premier source for technology news and reviews. NETGEAR's ReadyNAS Pro was awarded full marks for performance and received an overall score of 9/10.

In its summary, the latest ReadyNAS storage product was heralded as "master of the universe for performance", with the reviewer describing NETGEAR's first six drive appliance as delivering performance that "no other desktop NAS appliance comes remotely close to." The full review can be found here.

When testing the product's iSCSI support, TrustedReviews was impressed by the Pro's raw read speeds of 109MB/sec, claiming that it has had "many dedicated - and much more expensive - IP SAN appliances in the lab that haven't gone any faster than this."

The review concludes the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition (RNDP6350) is "well suited to businesses" given its plentiful back-up and security features, impressive storage potential and support for IP SAN appliances.

Mark Power, Managing Director, NETGEAR UK&I, commented: "Regardless of the size of a business, its data is imperative to operational success. Without the right solution, storing it all can quickly become a headache. We feel this review highlights NETGEAR's commitment to helping businesses avoid this, and encapsulates TrustedReviews' ongoing recognition of our investment in developing affordable yet feature-rich storage solutions."
