I didn't even get an email, so I guess I'm not being considered at all? That's bunk.

Scooley, check your junk settings. if you signed up for the first link in the OP, then you should have received an email about this test. If you didn't I would encourage you to do the survey again and make sure that you marked "am interested in testing other products".

Dlance, Synology is a great product. Their interface is second to none and they get high marks for configurability, intuitive display, and their app network. It is a solid all around product built with the geek in mind (no offense). The ReadyNAS is all about data protection, and we outscore anyone in terms of secure data and backup options (5 layers vs 2). We are a touch below synology in the inuitive display dept, but we offer lots of cool features like surveillance backup, plex server, X RAID. We are ramping up our efforts on the GUI, streaming media, and auto sync with any device. We are a different flavor from Synology, but still a great flavor.

We are about 3 software versions and 15 firmware versions ahead of some of those early reviews, which is why we need Texags help to accurately portray this product versus the 2012 versions.

I marked that I was interested in testing any/everything, but I've received zero emails so far. The survey in the OP is closed, so I can't re-do it.

Scooley, I'm not sure what if anything went wrong, but if you want to fill this out, this is the generic form.

Travis,

No doubt. I always love testing products and comparing what does versus another. I definitely fall into the geek category. Hell I am a former Wintel server admin and current mainframe systems programmer and security analyst. Looking forward to hopefully putting ReadyNAS through its paces.

Thanks Travis! I've been a member of several product testing groups, since I was 13 (25 now). It's a cool way to stay ahead of the curve.

Just got a shipping notification from Fedex! Whoop!


The Fedex tracking is to Thornton, TX though and I'm in College Station. So If one of you lives in Thornton congratulations!

For those that also received the notification: When access the tracking information does it show the correct city under estimated delivery?

It's not cool if you responded fast and didn't get picked.

I just got a shipping notification, but it was to Ft Worth. I am wondering if it will update once they have the package.

Hopefully once more than the electronic shipping information is received the location will update. It's also possible that Marynel sent the wrong tracking information to certain people. My name is on the email from FedEx, but it could still be wrong. Fingers crossed!

They saw EE and figured you'd be too critical.

It almost sounds like the excel sheet with our names and address was mis-sorted and the name is no longer linked to the proper address.

The tracking number that I have just went from scheduled to picked up

Well if the excel spreadsheet did get messed up, that means people are still getting them, just not the right tracking numbers.

Just got an email about 20 minutes ago also. It says it's shipping to Garland, CO, I live in Denver

Since the tracking page doesn't have my address on it, I am guessing that it's showing the next destination for the package, not the final destination. I imagine this will change in a couple days

I'm excited to try this out. New tech toys are always a fun time, even better when it's free

Thanks for including Texags on this, Travis. I hope we don't disappoint!

Mine says it's going to Speculator, TX, which as far as I can tell is not a real place. I live in Austin.
