My Firmware is 6.10.10

I'm sure what is meant by "will show up on Volumes page." Could mine be labeled as "Shares"

This is what I have.

After using RAIDar to access the NAS I click on the "Admin Page" button and I login as "admin".

This then allows me to select "Shares". This shows me the data on my NAS and also the data on the external USB hard drive.

So my NAS sees the USB hard drive attached.

When I go back to RAIDar and click on "Browse" I now have displayed an Explorer Window showing only the data on my NAS and no way to get to the external USB hard drive.

How do I get to the data on the external USB hard drive?

Thanks.

Yes, it shows up on the shares page. It should also show up on the volumes tab of the system page.

First go to "Shares" and click on the settings wheel for the external drive "share" and select settings. Select "Network Access" and make sure SMB is enabled.

Then skip RAIDar and directly enter \\nas-ip-address\sharename in the Explorer address bar - using the actual IP address and sharename, of course. Be careful to use the correct slash - \ NOT /.

Note you can also copy/paste files from the shares page.
