NAS devices aren't renowned for being stylish, but the cute Stora is. It's great value, too, for storage and price. Handily, its 1TB comes on a single hard disk, but there is a spare bay so you can add a second drive to double capacity orutilise RAID...

Over the years we've concluded that Netgear's NAS devices are, if not the best going, certainly among them. Better still, the company is doing a good job of bringing out systems such as the ReadyNAS Duo at a price point that all of us - not just those los...
It's impressive to think that a 1TB NAS device can now be had for £190. That the Netgear Stora is also incredibly easy to set up and use is a bonus and although it does require a subscription the functionality added by MyStora.com isn't bad value for mone...

The Stora MS2110 is Netgear's simplest network-attached storage (NAS) device yet. Designed for use in the home, it boasts a similar automatic RAID configuration system to Netgear's ReadyNAS devices, as well as remote access for media files. It's relatively cheap, too, though it isn't as expandable or fast as other media-focussed NAS devices, and the options available to administrators are somewhat limited.The Netgear Stora MS2110 doesn't look like a NAS; there are no exposed drive bays, loud...

We really like the Stora. Other than not wanting to pay for some of the online services and not having as much media support as we'd like, there's not much to complain about. For $230 -- the cost of a 1TB drive by itself just months ago -- you can get...
