Sparc or Arm

[ArneH]

Hej!

I have an RND2000 v2 (ReadyNAS Duo v2). Black. Bought 2010-sep-22

I downloaded the RAIDiator-arm Version 5.3.13 (for ReadyNAS Duo v2/NV+ v2) from the hompage with RND2000 v2.

When trying to update. No successes…

I always have assumed it is the ARM version. But I am starting to realize it is the SPARC version. Because I saved the 4.1.16 version and it states Sparc in the filename.

And on the top of it “Disk 1 did not pass SMART self-assessment test.”

But by some reason, I do like it.

Are they any more modern SW to flash it with?

Likely not - the labels are confusing.

The original Duo (called v1 here)

• says ReadyNAS Duo on the front panel
• runs 4.1.x firmware
• uses a Sparc CPU
• might have a v2 label on the back or bottom.  This means that it is hardware revision 2 of the (original) Duo, not that it is a Duo v2.

The Duo v2

• says ReadyNAS Duo v2 on the front panel
• runs 5.3.x firmware
• uses an ARM CPU

The 4.1.16 firmware is the latest (and final) firmware release for the v1 Sparc-based NAS.

Note that both 4.1.16 and 5.3.13 firmware were released in May 2017, so 5.3.13 isn't newer.

Thanks

What tricked me is that it is labeled RDN 200 V2 exactly as the real V2 "Model / Version: RND2000 v2".

And a lot of eBay sellers are tricking their buyers into thinking they are purchasing a "real" V2.  The front label is the absolute best way to tell, but the backs are also different.  The "real" V2 has a fan the entire width of the chassis and no recess for the power plug.  The V1 has a smaller fan and a recess.
