ReadyNAS duo v1
I have been using my ReadyNAS duo V1 (2150) for quite some time. Suddenly, it quit communicating, and has "disappeared" from my network. The blue "on" button light is on, but it dims, occasionally ...

Yes, Your V2 uses an arm processor, so you can't migrate the V1 drives to it.

Could you please "point" me to a source which will reveal which of the "older" ReadyNAS units are compatible with the disks in my 2150 v1? Is there some "clue" in the model number, or ...?
A duo 2150 shipped with a 500GB drive, so there really isn't a lot of data to copy. Even if you upgraded the disk later, it would only have 2 TB max. Truth is, linux reader is the easiest (and I think safest) next step.
The compatible desktop NAS are duo v1, nv, or nv+ v1. You can use this guide to distinguish v1 from v2: 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/

Again, thank you for a quick and informative response.
