How to mount a ReadyNas HDD under Win10
Hi, I want to take a Single HDD from the ReadyNAS, no RAID, and want to mount it via USB to a Win10 PC. I tried several programs like Ext2 Volume Manager which sees the drive but cant mount it...

Can only find some open source projects : https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs
The betas are these open source projects, not "official". (including https://github.com/maharmstone/winmd)
You'll need BTRFS (and possibly MDADM). There are win10 betas for both.
You will need MDADM. A ReadyNAS single-drive volume is a "one drive MDADM RAID1". That is, it's actually half of a redundant pair, but the NAS has been told not to complain that it's not redundant. It seems pretty clear that the reasoning is to allow expansion to actual redundancy instead of having to destroy and re-create.
I've been meaning to run some experiments with the beta MDADM and BTRFS for Windows, but never seem to get to it.
- Would you mind to do so now and give us a how to?
Had a look into it and was confused :/I don't even currently have a hardware setup appropriate for doing so, which is why it's not been done up to now.
