ReadyNAS Duo still running!
-Hello everyone, I just wanted to say how pleased I am that my old ReadyNAS Duo circa 2010, maybe earlier, can't remember when I bought it, is still running strong! I've had a lot of stuff happen in my life, but other than a few drive replacements, this thing has held my data for so many years, never failed. The only issue is accessing the Front view, only old versions of browsers allow this kind of access.
This is by far the best piece of hardware I've ever owned!
My own Duo is about the same age, and is also still working. It doesn't have the capacity for my data now, so it is a secondary backup.
(RAID isn't enough to keep your data safe, so you do still need a backup on another device).

The current version of FireFox will work if you set security.tls.version.min to 1 (browse to about:config and search for the setting).

Mine is still ticking too. Got mine around 2009 as I recall. Took it offline when I got a WD EX4 (much larger capacity). Brought back online last year as my WD is now EOL to back up the EX4. Had the usual issues with SSL. Applied the "fix" and all is well.
- It’s good to see older models still going. I have a Duo v1 think 2008. It’s been working well until I tried to but a bigger disk in. Does anyone know the meaning of disk LEDs blinking alternatively? Blue power lights goes off after a split second and unable to switch it off without pulling the power plug. Fan come on and no detection in Raidar. Thanks in advance.

The number of slow blinks will be the error code. Current error codes: 1 - Vendor mismatch 2 - No disks detected 3 - Bad contents on root partition of disks 4 - Flash error 5 - Unsupported RAID configurationMine still has the Seagate Barracuda Green drives in it from 2011!!
