File protocols supported by the ReadyNAS NVX inlude CIFS/SMB for Windows, AFP 3.1 for Mac OS X and Mac OS 9, and NFS 2/3 for Linux and Unix. It also supports HTTP for the Web, FTP/S, rsync and secure rsync, WebDAV, print sharing, Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and iSCSI target support for Windows, Mac and Linux initiators.
The 2TB system costs $1,500. That also comes with a free 30-day trial of ReadyNAS Vault, an Internet backup service, which costs $5.95 per month for consumers and $19.95 per month for businesses.
