I'm trying to identify what unit I have. On the front panel, it says "ReadyNAS Duo" (no version number). On the underside label, it says "ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 v2".
The front panel is definitive, so you have the original Duo (called v1 here).
(I think this is the point where someone tells me the NAS only accepts a 2Tb drive.)
Yeah... It only accepts a 2 TB drive.
On the underside label, it says "ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 v2".
Netgear messed up on the branding for the v2 back in 2011, which has created years of confusion for customers and Netgear support. Calling it something else (like Duo Plus) would have eliminated a lot of pain.
What you actually have is hardware revision 2 of the original Duo - just a small component change that does not affect the performance or features of the NAS.
