Upgrade your home network, retro computer setup, home lab or media archive with this LG N2R1DD2 Super Multi 2-Bay Network Attached Storage (NAS) system. This is the factory 2TB configuration with two installed 1TB Hitachi hard drives. The NAS has been thoroughly tested, reinitialized, formatted and upgraded through LG’s New UI firmware path to firmware version 10124, the final New UI firmware LG lists for the N2R1/N2B1 series. Both installed hard drives currently report SMART Status: Normal, and both Volume 1 and Volume 2 report Status: Normal, as documented in the actual web-interface photographs. The system has been freshly reinitialized and both storage volumes formatted prior to sale. Default/reset administrator login is currently admin / admin; buyer should change the administrator password during setup.
The system is presently configured in individual-drive mode, giving the buyer two separate approximately 1TB-class volumes for close to 2TB total raw storage. Buyers who prefer drive-failure redundancy can reconfigure the unit for RAID 1 mirroring, where the same data is maintained across both drives so the system can tolerate the failure of one drive. The N2R1DD2 also supports other storage configurations including RAID 0, JBOD and individual volumes. It also includes Selective Mirror folder replication, allowing selected folders to be duplicated to another destination. RAID/mirroring protects against a physical drive failure but should not be considered a replacement for a separate external or off-site backup.
🌐 The LG NAS itself supports Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000 Base-T, making it suitable for direct connection to a modern Gigabit router or Ethernet switch. It can be administered through its graphical web-browser interface, and the photographs show the New UI operating normally, firmware 10124 installed and both hard-drive health screens. For direct Windows File Explorer network-share access, this older NAS uses legacy SMB/CIFS networking. Windows 10 and Windows 11 users may need to enable the built-in Windows optional feature named “SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support,” specifically “SMB 1.0/CIFS Client,” under “Turn Windows features on or off.” This is a Windows feature—not a separate driver or patch download. Because SMB1 is legacy networking technology, it is best used only on a trusted private home/LAN network. Browser-based NAS administration does not require File Explorer SMB access.
💿 This is more than a basic NAS. It includes LG’s built-in Super Multi DVD/CD Re-Writer, three USB 2.0 ports, rear eSATA connection, Gigabit RJ-45 Ethernet and a built-in multi-format memory-card reader. Other supported network-storage functions include FTP/FTPS, WebDAV, Mac networking, Apple Time Machine capability and folder replication. The DVD-RW drive is physically installed but has not been separately tested with optical media, so no specific read/write guarantee is being made for the optical drive. Also included is the pictured Dynex 10/100 router as a bonus accessory. Please note that the Dynex router itself is only 10/100 Mbps; buyers seeking maximum NAS transfer performance should connect the LG NAS to a Gigabit-capable router or switch instead.
✨ Included are the LG N2R1DD2 NAS, two installed 1TB Hitachi HDDs, Dynex 10/100 router, LG NAS power adapter and Dynex power adapter, exactly as photographed. The white LG enclosure has normal cosmetic wear, scratches, marks and age-related discoloration consistent with a 2011-era unit, but no cracks or broken sections of the case were observed. The front LCD and controls operate, the upgraded web interface is accessible, firmware is current at version 10124, both hard drives report Normal SMART status and both volumes report Normal status. This is an excellent vintage LG NAS, 2TB network storage, dual-bay NAS, RAID NAS, RAID 1 home server, Gigabit network storage, DVD-RW NAS, media server or retro networking system. It can also make a unique Christmas, holiday, birthday or Father’s Day gift for a computer enthusiast, home-server hobbyist or vintage networking collector.
