ReadyNAS Duo V2 - USB 3.0 Devices Only Work @ USB 2.0 Speeds
I've read through the forums and I understand this device was just released last month but having big problems/reservations with this unit. There basically is no HCL for USB storage on the Duo V2. All...

What speeds do you get on the front USB2 port compared with what you get on the USB 3 ports on the back? Are the speeds faster on the USB3 port?
When gigabit NASes first came out they were a bit faster over gigabit than they would be over 100 megabit. The extra speed was enough to justify the inclusion of a gigabit port despite the fact the NASes couldn't get remotely close to the theoretical limitation of the standard.
I don't work for NetGear. I'm just a beta tester. I don't know what patches they have applied. If and only if the patches are open source, then you could look to the GPL (http://www.readynas.com/gpl) to see what's included.
What filesystem is on your USB disk? Have you tried different filesystems (e.g. NTFS and EXT3 - I would suggest trying both of these)?
Firmware updates very roughly tend to come every few months or so, I think. It does vary a bit. However often in-between production firmwares there are public betas. There hasn't been any public betas of ARM firmware yet, but there may well be at some point in the future. We'll have to wait and see.
