Disks wil not allocate available space when upgrading disks
I have a RND4000 (ReadyNAS NV+ v1), which I have used with 4 1TB disks until recently. I replaced the disks one at a time with four Western digital disks: "WB Blue, 2 TB", Model: WD20EZRZ. Altho...
1) If the resync to sync the disks sector by sector is still in process that may slow things down a bit. You are using old hardware and the resources needed to run things would have gone up a bit over time. The NV+ essentially uses pretty much the same hardware (has same CPU and RAM) as the NV we released back in February 2006. Note there is a warning for some options that it's best to use a UPS if you use it.
2) It uses the web browser's language. If you don't want to change the web browser's language install another web browser and set that one to use English and use that. Our current models give you the option to override the language used in the UI.

Firmware: RAIDiator 4.01b1-p2-T10 [1.00a042]
When checking for firmware update, I get:
"The system is already running the latest firmware. Click Perform System Update if you wish to proceed with the
update anyway.
If the firmware version you are quoting is correct (e.g., not just copied off the label), then you are not running the latest firmware - which is 4.1.15. Your firmware is at least 8 years old.
I suggest backing up the unit, then manually installing the current firmware. After that, do a factory default - either using the paper-clip method or via the web ui (system->update->factory default).
Raidiator 4.1.15 can be found here: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/30914/~/raidiator-version-4.1.15-(sparc) You need to manually extract the binary file from the zip, and then you can do the upgrade from system->update->local
After the factory default completes, you need to reconfigure the NAS and reload the data from backup.
I guess whatever was the URL for checking for firmware updates at the time that beta firmware was released is now a broken link or the firmware you are running can't handle the "new" firmware version scheme properly and so doesn't realise there is newer firmware available.
