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...

More weirdness...
After reboot none of the drives are mounted. No matter what I try or how I reboot no USB 3 devices work after a reboot unless they're in the USB 2.0 port. Power cycling the Duo V2 I get different results. Sometimes the drives are automatically seen and other times they aren't. If they aren't, a power cycle of the USB 3.0 drive and it is mounted again. If you have to disconnect the USB 3.0 drive from the Duo you have to power cycle it to allow for automounting again.
Tried EXT3 and it works as well as NTFS. Definitely not any better with throughput. Results were toward the bottom of the NTFS averages but still better than USB 2.0.
