ReadyNas Duo RND2000-100 won't sync replacement drive.
Model: ReadyNAS Duo [X-RAID] Firmware: RAIDiator 4.1.16 [1.00a043] Memory: 256 MB [2.5-3-3-7] I know this unit is no longer support by Netgear, I get that. But it still works j...
For some reason it would not reset on disk one. So I swapped in disk two into the slot and it reset on that one. Then I put the original disk back in and it formatted and synced it without issue.
So basically it's running off the same two disks only with their positions reversed.
I'm in the process of restoring data to the NAS.
Thanks to everyone for their help.
FWIW, I have one of these, which I still use for a secondary backup.

The HCL is too old to be very useful now.
Generally I recommend a CMR NAS-purposed drive. For instance, Seagate Ironwolf or WDC Red Plus. Enterprise class will of course work, but are kind of overkill given the performance of the NAS.

I connected the drive as a USB volume to the NAS and had the NAS reformat it as EXT3. So in theory this should be a blank drive now.
If it's formatted, it's not blank. It might have no data, but it still has partition(s) and of course a file system.
The Duo should automatically reformat the drive and add it to the array if you hot-insert the drive. So try removing it and reinserting it with the NAS running.
