ReadyNAS Duo RND2110 v2 "System is starting up..." blue light blinking
I have a ReadyNAS Duo RND2110 v2 with a single Seagate Barracuda 1TB drive in it. When I start the NAS, RAIDar briefly shows: Model: ReadyNAS Duo Name: ESMENAS Status: Healthy Firmware: 4.1.14...
You actually have a v1 (sparc-based NAS). A v2 would run 5.3.x firmware. There's a longer explanation on the labeling here: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/
Do you have a backup of the data? If not, I suggest trying r-linux for windows (connecting the disk to the PC either via sata or a USB adapter).
Thanks very much for helping StephenB.
Having read the guide you provided, I agree with you, that I have a v1, even though there's a sticker on the underside of the unit that says v2!
I powered it on today and it's been on for 4 hours or so, and the situation has changed. The fan is now much more normal sounding (quieter) and the power LED is kind of pulsating, rather then blinking. I also see a steady green blinking LED for disk 1. When I launch RAIDar, I see this now:
Still the admin page button doesn't work (browser says page cannot be displayed or similar) When I hover my mouse pointer over the icon for disk 1, a pop up says "Channel 1: ST<hard drive model number> 7GB", where as it's supposed to be 100GB in capacity.
I have a back up some of the data, but not all, so I would really like to recover it if at all possible. Do you recommend cracking on with trying r-Linux for Windows? I have a Windows laptop and a Mac laptop that I can use, so if there's one that is easier to use/works better, then I'd be glad to know.
Cheers again,
Olly

Yes, I'd try that next. r-linux isn't available for mac, so you'll need to use the windows laptop.
You can also run seatools on the pc to check the disk health (sticking with the non-destructive tests).
Cheers StephenB,
I have just ordered a disk enclosure with power supply, so tht I csn hook up the HDD to my Windows laptop's USB port. It should be arrive on Saturday. I'll post back with news after that.
Thanks,
