ReadyNAS How-To download RAIDar (what is the different with RAIDiator) 4.2.7 on PC

RAIDar is a PC program which can discover your NAS and provide some status information about it. Raidar 4.3.8 and RAIDar 6.0 can both be found here: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20684
Both will work with your pro, though there are one or two things where you might need the older 4.3.8.
RAIDiator is something else - it is firmware that it is installed on the NAS, not the PC. (there are also some RAIDiator downloads in the link above). The current version is 4.2.27. I think you are simply mixing up the version numbers for the two packages.
You can see what RAIDiator version you have installed on the NAS from frontview (the web admin UI for the NAS). RAIDar will also tell you.
