Readynas Duo v2

Hi. Am just planning out a sonos sytem.

I'm planning to get a readynas duo and I'm assuming that as a few people have them on this forum they work ok as a NAS? A bit slow maybe but ok?

    I know this is an old thread, but still, some may still be using Netgear REadynas duo NAS devices. FWIW: I have had the v1 version for 12 years, and the v2 versions for 6 years. There are some differences. The ReadyDLNA streaming works fine, though a little finicky with the v1 version. I have not been able to get any streaming software working with the V1. The v1 is still limited to using a maximum size hard drive of 2TB, which, in raid zero would give you a 4TB NAS. However, I have gotten both 8 and 10 TB Western Digital red drives to work in the V2, making them okay as file servers, but not for software streaming other than when using a computer on the LAN. You can watch pretty much any resolution including 4K with the file on the Readynas duo v2 using VLC media player. But ReadyDLNA, Slimp3, Squeezebox, and itunes streaming don't seem to work well if at all. I will come back if I find new information.
