ReadyNAS Duo RND2110v2 model compatibility?
Hi all. My trusty old ReadyNAS Duo, that has served me well for several years, has died suddenly and I need some advice on an equivalent replacement please. Underneath the unit it says the model nu...
Hi pjrothwell
Welcome to the Community!
It would be better if you can find a Similar model which is the RND2110v2 (Duo V2 with 1x1TB) or the diskless model RND2000v2 (Duo V2). But IMO it's best to go with an OS 6 model which are way better than the older models since it only supports SMB1 and no further firmware updates will be available. The RND2120 and RND2150 is on a different architecture and software than your Duo V2 so it is not possible to migrate the disks. But you can check if you really have a Duo V2 or V1 by checking this page.
You can migrate the disks from your RND2110v2 to an OS 6 model like the RN200, RN400 and up series. You will just have to properly setup the NAS using this guide and/or contact support for assistance. (There's a 90 day support contract included for Brand new purchases). Note: Your disks should be in healthy condition in order for the data to properly be recovered.
But again if you just want to have the disks inserted and get the NAS running then getting the same model as with your old NAS would be the way to go.
Hope this helps!

What do you mean by NAS has "died"
Perhaps the least expensive option could be to replace the power supply unit?
Hi. Thanks for your reply bedlam1. By "died" I meant it has been continously powered on and operating normally for many months, but on Sunday morning I found it was powered down and would not power on again. It was totally unresponsive. I checked the fuse in the mains plug was ok, and swapped in a different mains power cable, with no difference. A visual inspection of the power supply board inside the unit last night didn't reveal anything unusual i.e. no components showing sign of burn out etc. I have asked an electrician friend of mine to stop by tonight and check for me that the power supply brick is actually outputting a 12V supply, just to make sure that's not the problem.
