Raidiator 4.1.1.6 firmware is the correct firmware version for your ReadyNAS
Raidiator 5.3.11. is NOT, so do not even go there

4.1.16 :smileywink:
CRUZZIN7 The v2 label doesn't mean that you think it does. You have a sparc-based NAS (called a v1 here). The Arm based NAS (which does run 5.3.x firmware) would say "Duo v2" on the front chassis - not buried in the part number.

The firmware on your NAS is branded RAIDiator, and 4.1.16 is the final version. Netgear stopped manufacturing it in 2011, and stopped releasing firmware updates in 2017.
The current entry-level ReadyNAS is the RN212, which runs OS 6. It's a lot faster and has more features than your Duo.
Is there an issue with your current NAS? Or were you just checking to see if you were running the latest firmware?

I am not currently experiencing any problems with it just wanted to push the envelope a little more. For some reason i thought the version was a 2 when i bought it and it's just the old v1. i currently use it for my home networking and with the external usb ports I'm currently getting a whopping 18 terrabytes...so I'm good just hanging onto the grandfathered super reliable NAS.
Thanks for your time...it's much appreciated!
