When ordering, just be careful of the model numbers. The Duo (v1 - model RND2000-100NAS) and the Duo v2 (model RND2000-200NAS) are both currently on the Newegg website for example. The Duo v1 is $180 while the Duo v2 is $200. The next model up, the Ultra 2 diskless (RNDU2000-100NAS) is $300 with shipping. It is more feature rich and is based on the Intel Atom processor. It has been out a little over a year now.
One does not have to worry about support from Netgear on the older products. There are still some of the original Infrant brand desktop ReadyNAS units in service from 2005, and they can run the same latest firmware 4.1.8 that runs on the Duo and NV+. While the Duo (v1) has been discontinued, it is not heavily discounted, and will still offer good service for years to come.
