ReadyNAS Duo (RND2000 v2) Drive Access

Pulled this out of the cupboard and gave it a dust down and fully reset it, to find out I can not access it using Windows 10/11 due to limitations with web browser. how can I by pass it?

You will have to use an older browser that supports TLS1.0 to access the admin page, IE11 or an older version of Firefox might help.

Are you having errors accessing data using file explorer? You may have to enable support for SMB1

No, that is the final firmware for your Duo.

Note you can adjust the NAS to allow you to use http to connect to the admin page (turning off the redirection to https). That will let you use any browser. But the connection is not encrypted. More information on that is in this thread:

Currently transferring 1.5TB of movie files around 1GB in size from my PC to NAS and only getting 15MB/s speeds, Is this normal for 1GB LAN?

It's fairly typical for a Duo v1.

2 TB is the max. Default XRAID would be RAID-1. Are you using FlexRAID (showing a C and a D volume in the web ui)?

Just wanted to follow up on the sluggish transfer speed.

Many 2 TB drives are now SMR. These can have very slow write speeds - so you might want to confirm that you are using CMR drives.

I believe both of these are CMR - I'm not seeing much on the Seagate, but it is an old enough model (2011) that it should predate use of SMR.
