Network attached storage is another technology thats evolved over the years to become a small business workhorse. Having moved beyond basic backup and file sharing, NAS now adds streaming media, remote access and capacity expansion to its list of capabilities.

This year, the Netgear ReadyNAS Duo RND2150 (500 GB) earned our readers favor by providing hot-swap drives, support for disk quotas, and excellent media streaming capabilities. You can also access the Duo via an SSL-encrypted connection.

Add the fact that it works with Windows, Mac, and Linux or Unix clients, and its no surprise that this versatile network storage device took top honors.
