The device was easy to setup and get going. My initial use was to place all of My laptop files on the device and automatically upload any file changes from my laptop to the NAS. It took quite awhile to initially load all of the data (approx. 400 GBs). I received numerous blue screens during that process. Also I ran into an issue that files in excess of 2 GBs would not upload - I did not see this in the documentation. So for those files (all of mine were videos) I needed to split them into multiples. Since that time the blue screens have subsided (still occur but infrequently - my laptop is Vista and perhaps that is a factor). I have successfully stored and accessed files from ipads and iPhones. Overall I am satisfied with the uses of the device and its operation. One more item is that access from the Internet works well albeit large video files are slow not because of the device but because of the nature of large files being accessed over the internet. Accessing those files locally in the home via the router works well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy as pie to get on the "Cloud" *by K***B on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2015* Hats off to Netgear!I have a video security system and it's a constant struggle to open the right ports and enable off site access through my router and firewall. Netgear has made it ridiculously simple. It took 5 minutes max to plug it in, power it up, create the connections and execute a remote access. My only "complaint" was that the Netgear folks seem to want to use Google Chrome as their preferred browser. It won't allow drag and drop to Firefox but it's not big deal.I also downloaded the iPhone app and connected immediately and I was able to download files. This app allows easy backup of photos - basically one click. Very cool.Very impressive! ### ⭐⭐⭐ This is a good inexpensive storage device *by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2015* This is a good inexpensive storage device. Performance is just ok. However, it says it supports Plex. However, it doesn't have enough processing power to encode/decode movies, so it really can't be a Plex Server, just store your movie files. But I've had it for a year and it seems rock solid so far. No issues. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/4745036-netgear-readynas-104-4-bay-network-attached-storage-8tb-rn10442d](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/4745036-netgear-readynas-104-4-bay-network-attached-storage-8tb-rn10442d) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
