Readynas duo 2110
Hi, Looking for some help. I have 2 x 1TB drives in there. I am having problems booting up with both or even one drive. I have removed drives today and turned on and can ping the NAS IP but ke...
Does your NAS say "Duo" on the front panel? Or does it say "Duo v2"?
Your download link isn't for RAIDar. RAIDar can be found here: https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads
Hi there,
It says duo on the front however on the label underneath, it has a sticker for RND2110. If I peel off, it shows RND2000 v2. The v2 piece is visable when the sticker is on.Thanks for RAIDar link, I downloaded 6.5, but I received a popup " netgear raider requires openJDK (version 11 or higher)......please visit java.

Also maybe I need to download earlier versions depending on what you respond if V2 or not.
Downloads for previous ReadyNAS devices:
RAIDiator 5.3 (version 5.3.13) for DuoV2 / NV+V2
RAIDiator 4.2 (version 4.2.31) for Pro Pioneer / Pro Business / Pro 2 / Pro 4 / Pro 6 / NVX / Ultra 2 / Ultra 4 / Ultra 6 / Ultra 2 Plus / Ultra 4 Plus / Ultra 6 Plus / 1500 / 2100 / 3100 / 3200 / 4200
RAIDiator 4.1 (version 4.1.16) for Duo / NV+ / 1100Thanks again.

The v2 piece is visable when the sticker is on.The front panel is definitive - other labels are confusing. In your case you have hardware version 2 of the Duo v1. Your NAS runs 4.1.x firmware, and cannot run 4.2.x or 5.3.x firmware. The most recent version is 4.1.16 - found here: https://kb.netgear.com/000038792/RAIDiator-Version-4-1-16-Sparc Though it is likely that check-for-updates in the NAS admin ui will find it.
However, this is secondary, the main issue now is to get your NAS to boot.
You do seem to be confusing the NAS firmware downloads (RAIDiator) with RAIDar. They are completely different beasts.

Is this a Windows PC or a Mac? What version of Windows (or MacOS) is the PC running?

If you have a Windows PC, then I suggest testing the drives with vendor tools (Seatools for Seagate; Lifeguard for Western Digital).
Do you have any spare drives you can try? They need to be 2 TB (or smaller), and whatever is on them would be lost.
Hi there,
Thanks for confirming this is v1.
Sorry yes I meant RAIDar to be able to disover NAS. I cannot browse to NAS IP even though I can ping it from PC.
Running Windows 10 pro.I do have a drive in an old PC, can I just plug into NAS or would it reformat? Should I be able to browse to NAS wihout any drives in? Not sure if the blue flashing light and green lights with no disks is a good or bad thing.
I can try and connect drives to my PC and run a test if you think that would help. I did think about trying to copy the data off too just in case but read you need conversation software to read it, if you have any experience with that, that would be helpful.
Thank you so much for your help so far. Main concern is to maybe try and boot up a drive with NAS and then copy data off.
