ReadyNas Duo V2 - RND2210 -200NAS
Hello
I just restarted my ReadyNAS DUO2 - RND2210 after 10 years. I had it packed up for years. Just didn't mess with it because I was frustrated about the admin password and login. I finally unpacked it and it is in pristine condition with the steel cage and all. I would like to know what apps are available for it and can I use this in the cloud from all of my PC's.
I ask this because I bought a Synology and it is fantastic also. I have all of my computers backing up to it. My daughter also views the movies from over the internet. How can I get the same level of use out of this ReadyNAS and what cloud applications are available to it?
Thanks
Miriam

The V2 is just over 10 years old, so first make sure it is a V2, which will have a model number with -200 and say V2 on the front. Any other indication of V2 (like on a sticker on the bottom) means something different.
But regardless of which you have, it's a unit that is old and has not had a firmnware update for some time. It's based on an obsolete Linux dispo. Apps will mostly be equally old. It also only supports SMB1, not even SMB2.
Frankly, I'd relegate it to backing up your Synology. If you need another NAS, one of the current ReadyNAS models will have a lot of current apps available.
