Netgear Stora MS2000 Mac OS High Sierra No access to drive

Hi   I have a Netgear MS2000 and since upgarding my Mac Operating System to High Sierra I have no access to the drive. I understand that it should be running on 64bit instead of the current 32bit...

Unrelated, the protocols used are the same, and don't depend on the system OS architecture. The Stora does continue to be available for the Web based management.

 

The Stora Desktop Apps are optional, and I'm afriad, these are not available for the 64bit architecture. That's the only shortcoming.

    Does this mean that the drive is obsolete for this new 64bit system and I will have to purchase a new compatible one

      No. Neither a Web browser connection nor AFP and SMB are have changed with the 64-bit OS.

       

      Only the utility - which is optional and not required to operate, manage, and access the STORA - might be no longer working.
