I bought a used ReadyNAS Duo today.
Now, when I start up the NAS, it just says “System starting up” and has been stuck like this for a long time.

- Duo
- Duo v2
- Ultra 2
- Pro 2
- RN102
- RN202
- RN212
- RN312
- RN422

If you need Java, you can download it from
Note that RAIDar won't work on Macs with M-series processors.
its a Duo, it says it in the Raidar app, like i said..
