The Pro Pioneer Edition is the flagship ReadyNAS network attached storage model for advanced home users and media enthusiasts. Placed in the center of your digital home, it will revolutionize your home network both today and tomorrow! Advanced features, high storage capacity and lightning-fast performance let you store, share and protect files and digital media like never before.
Class-leading Performance
Powered by an Intel multi-core processor and the RAIDiator operating system, the ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition is the fastest NAS in its class. It can easily handle over 14 simultaneous 1080p HD streams and blistering 100+ megabytes per second read/write speeds let you back up multiple computers, transfer large files and stream data all at the same time.
Advanced Energy-saving Design
The compact 10 x 7 design of the ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition is just slightly larger than the 6 drives it houses. Smart energy-saving modes like disk spin-down, a scheduled power timer, and Wake-on-LAN allow standby or power-off modes when not in use, lowering power bills, extending system life and consuming fewer resources. And, with strategically placed fans, the ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer runs quietly enough to live in any home, yet keeps your disks and components safely cooled.
Easy Deployment and Management
With an easy Web browser interface and a simple Setup Wizard, the ReadyNAS can be up and running in just moments**. Advanced features like SMART disk pre-failure warnings, scheduled disk scrubbing, background file system checking and offsite backup ensure data integrity. Email alerts keep you informed wherever you are and auto shutdown options ensure the integrity of your data in case of emergency. X-RAID2 keeps your data protected* and allows instant capacity expansion through online background migration to bigger disks.
Ultimate Media Streaming Server
The ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition is an ultimate home media server. Monster capacity and lightning performance let you centralize all of your data into one safe place. Streaming services let you experience digital media content locally or over the Web with your network DVD player, DVR, Xbox 360, PS3, NETGEAR EVA Digital Entertainer and more, without the need for a PC!
Music Sharing
A built-in Apple iTunes server shares music to devices throughout your whole house. Other wireless music devices and software add-ons like the Logitech Squeezebox and SqueezeCenter, Sonos Digital music systems, Roku SoundBridge and many more are supported.
Friendly Mac Support
The ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition is Mac-friendly, supporting Apple Filing Protocol (AFP), allowing native Macintosh files to be used without limitations. It also supports Apple Time Machine, so multiple Mac users can now back up to a single centralized, secure, highperformance network storage device and recover data with ease. Apples Bonjour software technology enables auto-discovery of a device over a LAN and Macintosh status monitoring widgets are supported.
Superior X-RAID2 Technology
ReadyNAS products are dedicated to storage and manage your disks with grace and power, giving you peace of mind protection. Even if a second drive fails during a rebuild, RAID 6 ensures that no data is lost. X-RAID2 provides invisible, on-the-fly expansion, so you can add capacity without interruption. It eliminates disk reformatting and data shuffling!
Flexible Backups
All ReadyNAS systems include multiple backup layers that you can customize to fit your needs. First, protect Windows and Mac clients with our included CDP software. Then, take a snapshot of your ReadyNAS data to ensure a recovery point. Next, backup to a USB drive on demand or on a schedule. Replication is a cinch between two ReadyNAS systems, and finally the ReadyNAS Vault option can move files and folders to an offsite secure data center for disaster recovery. Its all built in!
Multifunction USB Ports
The ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition has 3 USB 2.0 ports. Share your USB printers by connecting them to the Pro Pioneer and using the built-in print server. Hook up external USB hard disks and share them on your network. Or, connect a camera and automatically dump your photos to a safe and central location!
The ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition is designed for home installations. It does not include hard disks or support for Windows Active Directory integration, snapshot, iSCSI, NIC teaming/failover, SNMP or secure rsync. For these and other business-class features, look at the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition.
