The v2 was released for sale beginning November 13th 2011. Units sold before this time will all be v1.
v1 units will show a firmware version of 4.1.x in the Info (far right) column of RAIDar and have a web-interface that looks like this: http://www.readynas.com/simulators/frontview
v2 units will show a firmware version of 5.3.x in the Info (far right) column of RAIDar and have a different new dashboard web-interface.
The v1 is the RND4000-100 and the v2 is the RND4000-200
With the v1 you can use multiple 2TB USB drives. Create multiple backup jobs with each backing up <2TB of data.
