RNDP6000-100NAS Firmware upgrade RAIDiator 4.2.12
Recently purchased off Ebay an RNDP6000-100NAS server running firmware 4.2.12. All 6 drives are recognized but looking at documentation online not sure if this server can get a higher firmware. Can...
Yes, the last OS intended for your NAS is 4.2.31. But there is also an unofficial path to OS6.
Your current OS may be too old to see the update server, so you can download it here: RAIDiator-x86-4.2.31.zip . You have to unzip it and use the file with no extension to update using the System/Update/Local option in the GUI. I'm not sure at what point some additions were made that require a factory default to use, but StephenB can probably let you know if that's required.
Upgrading to OS6 is more complicated, but IMHO is well worth it if you are already starting fresh. Besides having a more up to date system supporting current standards, your volume can later be moved to a native OS6 machine without the need for a data backup and restore. It is recommended you have at least 2GB of RAM for OS6, though.
4.2.12! That firmware is over 10 years old and was the first firmware to support 4k sector drives.
Updating to 4.2.16 (and later such as the latest 4.2.31) does a GPT conversion to add support for disks >2TB in capacity.
