-Hello everyone, I just wanted to say how pleased I am that my old ReadyNAS Duo circa 2010, maybe earlier, can't remember when I bought it, is still running strong! I've had a lot of stuff happen in my life, but other than a few drive replacements, this thing has held my data for so many years, never failed. The only issue is accessing the Front view, only old versions of browsers allow this kind of access.
This is by far the best piece of hardware I've ever owned!
Mine is still ticking too. Got mine around 2009 as I recall. Took it offline when I got a WD EX4 (much larger capacity). Brought back online last year as my WD is now EOL to back up the EX4. Had the usual issues with SSL. Applied the "fix" and all is well.
It’s good to see older models still going. I have a Duo v1 think 2008. It’s been working well until I tried to but a bigger disk in. Does anyone know the meaning of disk LEDs blinking alternatively? Blue power lights goes off after a split second and unable to switch it off without pulling the power plug. Fan come on and no detection in Raidar. Thanks in advance.

Disk size is limited to 2 TB. Many 2 TB drives are SMR, and they should be avoided.

LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by an 1s delay, followed by a number of slow blinks. The number of slow blinks will be the error code.
Current error codes:
1 - Vendor mismatch
2 - No disks detected
3 - Bad contents on root partition of disks
4 - Flash error
5 - Unsupported RAID configuration
