ReadyNAS Duo Disc Capacity
I was reading the compatibility chart and I dont know how to tell if my ReadyNAS Duo is a V1 or V2. I have 2x2TB drives but I am out of space. I would like to upgrade to 2x 3TB but I dont know if my drive can handle it. Can someone point me to the right place?

- You most likely have the v1 which is limited to 2TB drives. If you have the v1 you'll need a new NAS to use 3TB drives. You'll also need to transfer your data (e.g. across your network) to the NAS. See the last sentence of http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_migrate_disks_over_from_an_existing_readynas_to_another
The Duo 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 RND2000-100 and the v2 is the RND2000-200
