I note from the original HDD compatibility listing, that my current unit will accept 1.5TB units. As the model reccomended is no longer available could you please advise current approved drives, greater than the two 750 GB HDD insitu. Your advice much appreciated.

2TB are the max for the Duo (v1). On the Hardware Compatibility List page select Legacy then ReadyNAS Duo

Thank you so much, go to the top of the class, what a service.

This is a community forum, not netgear support. mdgm (who is not netgear) told you how to find the duo v1 disk compatibility list (link is here btw: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20686/)

Sorry Stephen, I did thank mdgm, I did very much appreciate his input, I did not for one moment think he was a Netgear employee.From his most informative response I was able to glean the information I required. Therefore I am at a loss to understand the tone of your input.

I thought the reply was sarcastic - glad to hear that it wasn't. It's sometimes hard to get the "tone" of postings correctly.I apologize for the off-target response I made.

Further to previous, as my volumes were showing 96% of 693GB full, purchased 2x 2TB compatible Seagate discs, from the list kindly recommended. Replaced #2 on Sat.30th.,midday,disc 2 LED has continuously blinked since then and still is.RAIDAIR is showing yellow blinking buttons. Have not powered down at all. I appreciate it would take some time, but is this normal (45hrs.)

Can you log in via frontview? What status does it give you? (hover over the icons at the bottom left of the home page, also check the logs).

Having seen the "dead" comments, decided to replug disc 2. Following your instructions and noticing that the #2 LED was very rapidly indicating the following is Logs after one hour.
VolC raid Level X Resync. 668GB (96%) OF 698GB used
Channel2 ST2000DM 001-1CH 164:1862GB Resync 9% comp.
Hope this means it was a bad install from me and we are out of the woods. If so much appreciate your valued input.Thank you.
