I have tried to update my old RND2000 v2, with new firmware and would like to run a PLEX-server. Now I have updated to firmware 4.1.16. Is it possible på upgrate to 5.x.x? 

Have not been able to find a plex-version for the NAS. Anybody know where to download it?

Your 4.1.16 system is an RND2000 v1 (sparc cpu).  It's not capable of running plex.

OS 5.x.x is for the v2 (arm cpu) systems, so you cannot install that.

The labeling on the back of the NAS often confuses people, but the v2 label that matters is on the front (and yours won't say v2 there).

Anyway, your only options are to run plex on a PC (you can do that, but still keep the media on the NAS), or get a new OS 6 NAS that can run the current version of plex.

Hi BR

I think StephenB has made a small mistake, there is a fan made web-site where you can download Plex for your ReadyNAS Duo v1.0, running firmware 4.x. 

The URL you want is as follows:-

https://web.archive.org/web/20130910125628/http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/Downloads#ReadyNAS_5.x_.28ARM.29_-_PMS

Please note, I cannot make any recommendations or offer any kind of support because I have, personally, never downloaded any PMS software from this site myself, I just became aware of this fan site when Plex announced that they were no longer supporting or hosting any software below version 1.0.

Good Luck
