An update on this in case it helps someone else as I was still getting problems.
The culprit was the SSD enclosure. I tried 2 other flash drives and four other HDD/SSD's and they all worked fine with FTP so I swopped the original SSD in to one of the other enclosures and it worked immediately and has continued to do so since (I even swopped things back to double check if the problem would reoccur and it did).
Why it wouldn't work with FTP but would with SMB is beyond me as is why FTP would work with the R7000 but not the R7800.
This should be posted in the Nighthawk Router forum area (not ReadyNAS). I am moving it for you.
