RND2000-200 Not listed in Compatibility list?

It's a duo v2.

You can confirm that by checking the firmware - it should be 5.x.x.

Hi Stephen B
I knew it was a v2, I just don't know how to recognize it in the drop down tab under hard disks in the Official Hardware Compatibility List.
Lots of "RN..." numbers. Which would I choose to see what's officially compatible?

Thanks

Choose legacy devices. Then you will see the duo v2.

Thanks Stephen B.
I don't remember or know what the "legacy" means, but your answer worked.
I'm guessing "legacy" is an old model/s description etc...

Legacy = EOL (end of life). NETGEAR does not sell these anymore, and may only do maintenance firmware releases, there is no active development on it. The Duo v2 was replaced by the RN104.

Hi Chirpa
I googled "legacy" earlier tonight and it gave me a definition for computer speak, I kinda figured it out. But do appreciate the confirmation.
In regards to the RN104. I guessed it was the 102 that'd replaced the v2 simpl........gave up here and went to google the 104. I figured the 102 was 2 bay and the 104 was 4 bay, then realised I was assuming and went and googled.....

Ok....RN104 is a 4 bay. RN102 is a 2 bay.
Would you have meant the Duo v2 was replaced by the RN102, or I'm missing something here.....I'm extremely Readynas rusty, just coming back to the forum today/last night and I'm trying to brush up on stuff.
Got a v2 coming and I'm not sure if I've purchased the wrong one, done it on impulse without a bit of homework. Maybe should've gone for a newer RN102.
What does anyone think about the Duo v2 (now discontinued) up against the newer RN102, which still has some teething problems apparently.

Duo v2 still a good ride? Or should've def gone for the RN102?

And found out earlier that I can't just swap discs over from Duo sparc to the Duo v2 which I believe is x86 or something. I got some figuring out to do....

Just googled again before this post was submitted. Is the v2 Arm or x86?

Sorry, I meant the 102. 104 is the four bay yes.

RN102 and Duo v2 are both ARM, the 3xx series is x86 CPU. The 1xx is basically a faster Duo v2, but still low powered (can't do transcoding video, etc).

I'm a very basic home Nas user. Backup, storing, and streaming really. So I guess I'll be ok with my impulsive buy.

Got a question though.
I got a dead Duo v1. 2 drives in it. I don't think the backup to these 2 drives was up to date. What's my strategy here?
I'm a mac user, but have been pondering this for a long while. Have also just purchased a cheap 2nd hand window vista set up so I can manage this task. If memory serves me correct, there's 3rd party software that's window not for mac that'll read the info on the discs. I can't remember off the top of my head the correct name for the Duo's preferred drive format, H something or other.
I thought I'd be able to extract maybe bay 1, stick it in an external caddy and fire it up on the windows machine to pull off the data. Am I close? Sound about right?

Considering I got this all figured out in my little head after more than a year away from dealing with this stuff......then I'm probably wrong. Would be too easy.

Let me know what you think please.

EXT3 filesystem. Disk 1 in a USB enclosure on the Windows PC with this running should get you somewhere.. http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/

I dunno where I got H something.....ext3...that rings a bell

Cheers chirpa

I'm just gonna have a quick look at that link you sent me
