ReadyNas Duo V2 - Power button/connection/firmware problem???
Hey there.. not sure if it's the chassis only or EOL choice for the model. It's definitely a v2 according to the front though.
Product number if it helps is RND-20000-200EUS
I'm on Mac OS...

Assuming the barracuda is SATA, you can use it for this. Again, the disk will be wiped/reformatted so anything on it will be destroyed.
The idea is to do a factory install to the scratch disk, and then see if the system works normally again (responds to power down, etc).. If it does, then you can replace the disk for real, and set the NAS up again.

I've got a defunct windows pc with an old Seagate Barracuda 500GB drive in it... I'm guessing I can't just stick that in there?! Sorry I really am clueless!!
