Can Netgear SC101T work on windows 10

Hello, I have a Netgear Storage Central Turbo SC101T, I haven't used in a few years, long story short, i can't seen to make it work with windows 10 at all!, inside i've put 2 matched WD Blue 640GB hdd and its connected to a tp-link Archer AX10 Router, if that helps anything... Anyone suggestion would be helpful and thank you in advance

  • It's not a product I have (and isn't a ReadyNAS).  Unlike a NAS, you do need to install software on the PC to access the disks.  That's the SCM utility you'll find here: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/SC101T.aspx#download

     

    That software goes back to Vista, so it might not work on Windows 10.  Also, you might run into some issues with the windows firewall (or other security software you have running on the PC).   So if the software is installed, try disabling the firewall (and Avast, Kaspersky, etc) and see if that works.

      Unfortunatel I bought a used unit. Value is zero, since neither Linux nor W10 is supported.
      Any other ideas, than removing the controller and connecting the drives to a Raspberr Pi via USB?
      many thanks
