ReadyNas Pro 2 latest firmware

What's the latest firmware rev? We want to update this to support Egnyte Storage Sync 11 but it looks like we need to get our ReadyNAS up to the 6.7.1 firmware. I see from the download page that the newest is RAIDiator 4.2.31. Are we out of luck? Do we need to replace our device!?

 

Hostname: [xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Model: ReadyNAS Pro 2 [X-RAID2]
Serial: [xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]
Firmware: RAIDiator 4.2.27

IPv4 address: 1: Not Connected

Volume C: Online, X-RAID2, 2 disks, 5% of 1841 GB used

Model: RNDP2000 (ReadyNAS Pro 2)|ReadyNAS® Pro 2 System Diskless|EOL

Hi ddawson100,

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

We always suggest that it will be best to replace your chassis with our newer models that has the OS6 firmware.

 

Some users here in the Community were able to convert their 4.2.x NAS to OS6. This can also work for you, although this is not supported by NETGEAR. You may check this thread for the steps.

 

The files you need to convert your Pro 2 to OS6 can be found here.

 

Regards,

Thanks. We'll consider this approach but replacing with a device that natively supports the proper OS makes a lot more sense.

That is @JohnCM_S' main recommendation, the conversion was an alternative.

 

If you do get a new main NAS (perhaps in the RN420 series), then I recommend repurposing the Pro-2 as a local backup (in addition to the Egynte cloud backup).
