Did anyone get an actual HotSpot?
I know a few of us responded immediately, but haven't heard anything about it on here since then.
If selections have already gone out, I'll probably need to actually purchase a hotspot of my own, so I'm curious before I do that if anyone knows.

I'm still waiting on a hot spot notification as well.

Looks like Meng is our new friend.

I got the e-mail for the ReadyNAS 200 (RN202) and do a bit of photography as well, using my DSLR. I'd love to test a replacement for the Drobo + PogoPlug setup I've been using, as it's been less than reliable and super slow lately...
Don't have PM unfortunately, any other way to contact?
I would very much like to meet Meng...

Meng is your new friend, yes.
He is getting settled into Marynel's old role. You should start to see communication pick up again. the ReadyNAS 200's are going out late this week, possibly Monday. The Mobile Hotspot probably will ship next week, and you may not have received much information about that one.

Can you tell us if the NAS will come with any hard drives and what size if so? Just thought I'd be looking for specials this weekend just in case I need to purchase some or if I wanted to expand what y'all will provide.
I wanna meet Meng. Aint got nothing yet

I got two invites before Marynel's departure... is it safe to say i didn't get selected for either?

Thanks Travis - good to see you on the thread again!
Meng told me 2 3TB drives. If they're only 1TB drives, I'll probably upgrade with additional 1TB drives or to 2TB drives as I would like at least 2TB for data. Hoping it goes out tomorrow and I get it Friday so I know if I need to order any drives if there are good weekend specials. If they are 1 TB drives and I upgrade to 2TB or larger drives, then I will probably be willing to sell my 1TB drives if anybody is looking to do a 4x1TB array.
Shipping confirmation. ReadyNAS 200 by Friday!
quote:Maybe the size of the hard drives included depends if you're getting the 202 or the 204.

What is the email address the new invites are coming from? I need to monitor my junk mail folder.

quote:Some of you are getting 3TB's and some are getting 1 TB's. It had to do with inventory positions for us. There will be no rhyme or reason. I was told this morning that they start shipping today. I hope you guys love the new hardware. 1.4 Ghz ARM cortex is quite the upgrade for our desktop consumer line and should put us on par with Synology for a little less $$. The big advantage you should see is the cloud interface in terms of managing the data across devices. I look forward to all of your input.

By the way, we just kicked off friends and family, European edition. So if any of your guys are in Euro-land, let me know and I'll send you the link!
Why do I have a picture of Chevy Chase driving around the traffic circle in my head? Look kids, ReadyNAS...

I just thought of one question that (to me) isn't very clear. In ReadyNAS OS 6.2.3 (and others) under Disk Spin-down / Spindown timer settings, does the blue box mean the disks are allowed to spin down (spindown on) and the grey boxes keep the disks spinning (spindown off)? I wasn't sure if "On" meant the spindown feature is on or if the disks are "on".

Got the test unit yesterday. Some initial thoughts....
Setup is super easy. 5 minutes and you are up and running.
Camera video and picture quality seems pretty good.
Web app and mobile app seem reasonable so far. I haven't played with too many of the settings, but it seems to be decent.
The main question I have with the unit so far is the physical security of the cameras themselves. At $150 each, they aren't something you want to be easily taken. The mounting is... interesting, I guess. You are given a magnetic base to mount the camera (See here). This makes it easy to mount and point where you want it to be, but it is also super easy for someone to walk off with the camera. You need it to be somewhat accessible, since you will have to change the batteries at some point.
Hey Travis, do you know when these outdoor mounts are expected to be released?
TIA.

Amazing..
Can anybody with the ReadyNAS help me with installing ReadyDROP? I have remote access enabled, but when I try to install ReadyDROP, nothing happens. When I click on the Cloud tab while logged in as admin on my ReadyCLOUD, I can see the ReadyCLOUD, Ready NAS Remote and ReadyNAS Replicate.
When I click on the Ready NAS Remote in the menu bar after installing it, there is a ReadyDROP in the main menu, but it doesn't have a flyout.
I've tried installing like I did with Ready NAS Remote, but I can't see how to do that anywhere. All it does is take me to the ReadyDROP login screen.

Woohoo, just got the tracking number, my NAS will be here Wednesday
What is the new email address that the NetGear person is using?
meng.chhun at net gear
You forgot about me
If we didn't get an email from Meng should we email him? What is the process?
If you didn't get an email you weren't selected.

There are a couple hundred in the F&F testing program. Whenever Netgear decides to test a product, they randomly select a certain number in the program and send them e-mail's. They wait to get responses back, and then randomly choose from those who responded to send out product.
For example, they may send out 50 e-mail's, get responses from 40 people, and send out 25 units to test.
