So, this is really confusing and has always been :)
There is a Duo_v1 (version 2) and a Duo_v2. You have a Duo_v1 (version 2). The label on back is highly confusing.
The Duo_v1 (version 2) has a charcoal black chassis where it says "ReadyNAS Duo" on the front:

The Duo_v2 is a metallic-grey chassis where it says "ReadyNAS Duo V2" on the front:
https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RND2000v2_%28ReadyNAS_Duo_v2%29.aspx
The latest firmware the for the Duo_v1 is 4.1.16.
You can upgrade RAM on these models. Some users here have had success with that. There are people on these forum that know more about that procedure than I, so I leave them to chime in on that part.
