ReadyNAS DUO V1 - issues trying to use RAIDar on Mac or Win11
Hi All - I have kindly been given a ReadyNAS DUO V1, but am experiencing some issues when trying to use RAIDar on my Mac Studio / iMac / Win 10 / Win 11. I have installed 2 * WD RED 4TB drives in th...
So the outcome of this is that I have set up the Netgear ReadyNAS in RAID 0 configuration with two new Seagate 2TB drives. It is a very old NAS, and apparently is also very slow, so I decided to put it to use as a scratch / temporary storage drive for unimportant and non essential files.
I have managed to update the ReadyNAS to the latest firmware, but given that SMB1 is not supported by default on Windows10 or Windows11 (which I use via parallels), and is also not supported on any recent MacOS version - this unit is not something I will spend much time using.
For the interim I have purchased a 2 bay WD drive with 2 x 4TB drives configured in RAID 1 while I research the whole NAS market in more detail. In time I will likely purchase a 4 bay QNAP / Netgear or similar.
Thanks to everyone who has replied here with what is superb information. Thank you.
I can't see your screen grabs until a moderator makes them available, but I think you are confused a bit by the nomenclature. If you have a "Setup" button, then you are successfully running RAIDar. RAIDar is just to monitor the NAS and makes it easy to call up FrontView, which is the GUI for the NAS that uses HTTPS via your default browser. But your ancient NAS is limited to TLS V1.0 for HTTPS, and modern browsers have removed that due to security concerns.
Your options are to use an old version of Windows with IE still installed (including a virtual machine), use Edge in IE mode, or install a browser such as FireFox which still allows you to enable TLS V1.0. If using IE mode or a browser you don't want to make your default, then you can't use the button in RAIDar and you will need to access the admin interface via https://<ip.of.your.nas>/admin. You use the real IP address, of course, and the /admin is needed or you'll end up at the wrong page.
Once you have access, there is a way you can make FrontView work via HTTP if the potential security risk doesn't bother you, or you can just continue to use the methods I listed above to access it via HTTPS.
