Lack of documentation for many features, Expensive compared to more basic models, Requires “less secure” config with Gmail for alerts
After testing this new Netgear NAS (network attached server) for several weeks, we've come to the conclusion that's it an extremely well-rounded and rather advanced product. We know that some NAS devices are inherently complicated due to their massive fea...
