ReadyNAS Duo and ioSafe Solo Workaround

For those of you using the ReadyNAS Duo as your backup server there have been some issues with the ReadyNAS recognizing the ioSafe Solo.

A clever workaround is as follows:

Reboot the DUO with the ioSafe hard drive plugged into the back USB port. Disable the DUO's power timer (this timer shuts down the device at night and powers back on in the AM) and the Solo will work as a backup drive to of your Netgear home media server or business server.
