Netgear on Friday beefed up its ReadyNAS Ultra family of home media servers with new boxes the company claims offer 30 percent more performance.
"The ReadyNAS Ultra family brings cutting-edge partnerships and applications to the home media server market. The new Ultra Plus series is now the most powerful home storage available," said Tiffany Pham, Product Line Manager for Prosumer Storage at Netgear. "Now users can do more with their digital media collections than ever before."
In addition to serving up streaming content to local or remote handhelds, desktops, and game consoles, Netgear says its ReadyNAS Ultra series also integrate well with TiVo.
Prices and features vary, starting with the Ultra 2 (diskless 2-bay) for $400 on up to the Ultra 6 Plus (diskless 6-bay) for $1,000, all of which will be available later this month.
