Differences between models?
Can anyone tell me the difference between a ReadyNAS Duo RND2110v2 and a RND2150. I am going to put bigger drives in one and wonder if it makes a difference.
Cheers

Re: Differences between models?
If the 2110 is really a V2, then it makes quite a bit of diference. But Netgear has changed what they mean by "V2" over the years and there are V1 devices that have a sticker that says "V2". If the part number ends in -200NAS, it has "V2" on the front (not on a sticker), and it runs firmware V5.x, then it is what is currently referred to as a V2 (which should have been called a "model 2", "second gen", or something that didn't confuse. If the part number ends with -100NAS and it runs firmware 4.1.x, it's a V1, regardless of any other indication on the chassis.
A V1 cannot take drives bigger than 2TB and a V2 can, so that's the huge difference. I do not know what the top end for a V2 is, but I wouldn't realistically expect to go bigger than 4TB with such a low power CPU and small amount of memory except maybe for a backup-only device.
The 110 portion of the part number just means it shipped with 1x1TB drive and 150 means it shipped with 1x500GB.

There's a guide which helps on model identification here: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/
