Hi StephenB, thanks for your response. I'm surprised that you say I have a ReadyNAS Duo v1, it clearly states on the label affixed the underside of the NAS that is is a ReadyNas Duo v2. Your enclosed link for me to establish which I actually have is "Page not found".

For info, the Serial No is: xxx

The link is fixed - the closing ) somehow got included.

All 4.1.x systems are v1s. If you had a v2 it would be running 5.x.x firmware. Read the link - the short story is that the label doesn't mean what you think.

Thanks again StephenB. Having now seen the post, its a bit clearer, and you are right, it is a v1!

I'll ignore the email and sign-off on this now, thanks again.

    And Duo v2 says "Duo v2" on the front :smileysurprised:
    
    It is confusing for people who are going by the back labels - Netgear should have used different branding for the v2 platforms.
