I have Ready NAS Duo which had 2 drives Model WD20EARS-00MVWB0
One drive failed and has just been replaced under warranty with model WD20EARS-00MVWB1
Should I expect compatibility problem with Raid mirror

Almost the same firmware on both drives
the RAID enclosure should not have problems but try checking with the enclosure manufacturer just in case
Yup, as long the first part of the model number is the same, you should not have any problems.
The model number suffix is the “Customer Configuration Code”.
See http://community.wdc.com/t5/Desktop-Portable-Drives/Product-number-help/td-p/270798
BTW, sometimes there is a subtle difference in certain model suffixes.
