I have just updated the software for the latest version, so I guess it´s still a V1, do we agree?
Yes. Unfortunately the product labels can be very confusing.
So you can get 2 TB raid-1 or two 2 TB flexraid volumes (Raid-0/jbod) with no redundancy.

Are you sure you have a v2? A v2 runs 5.3.x firmware, a v1 runs 4.1.x firmware.
A v1 can't handle disks over 2 TB.

I agree with StephenB, please check the ReadyNAS Duo version that you have. You may also want to look into compatible HDD by NETGEAR on the link below for your model:

Navigate to >Legacy>Select your device...(ReadyNAS Duo or ReadyNAS Duo v2)

Re: Ready Nas duo V2 (RND2120) cant find al space on my 3TB discs
This is probably a sad day. 😞
The label on the Ready Nas says "ReadyNAS Duo RND2120 v2
but Raidar say:
(Sorry for the Swedish version, but I think you still take it.)
Värdnamn: | nas-83-FE-3B |
![]() | |
Modell: | ReadyNAS Duo |
Serie: | 24M30B7700DB2 |
Fast programvara: | RAIDiator 4.1.16 [1.00a043] |

Because then, the problem is like StephenB writes.
"A v1 runs 4.1.x firmware.
A v1 can't handle disks over 2 TB."

Re: Ready Nas duo V2 (RND2120) cant find al space on my 3TB discs
I have searched the webb and only found info of my Nas with 1 TB HDD. I'm curious about how you know the 2TB HDD limit?

Re: Ready Nas duo V2 (RND2120) cant find al space on my 3TB discs
Seagate began shipping 3 TB drives in March 2011, the Duo v1 and NV+ v1 products became end-of-life shortly after that in November 2011 when the v2 was introduced. Netgear didn't update the datasheet or manuals, but of course the HCLs only contain disks of 2 TB or smaller.
There are many threads on the forum on this topic, for instance this Nov 2011 post: https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-to-ReadyNAS/Ready-Nas-NV-maximum-drive-sizes/m-p/672915/highlig...
There were both hardware and software issues that the industry had to address when drives expanded over the 2 TB barrier. In the case of the v1 products, the linux kernel they use never had GPT support added, and Netgear decided it was too difficult to try to back-port. There are some OS 4.2.x products (which do have GPT support) that were limited to 2 TB sizes in some slots - that is a hardware issue.
