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)

I don't even currently have a hardware setup appropriate for doing so, which is why it's not been done up to now.

I haven't seen anything indicating that Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) has the capability of loading mdadm or btrfs, though I guess you could try it. I don't use WSL2 because of it's issues with VirtualBox. That's being worked on, so I probably will when the smoke clears, but I don't have enough of a need to do so before then.

I can confirm that the drivers are working, the hdd shows up and you can read and write to it. Thr drivers have some minor problems, like if you try to replace a file in the target folder you get a BSOD.
The copy speed is jumping a little bit up and down but its around 40 MB/s with USB 2 regarding to the task manager. other programms only show around 8 MB/s. Check the attached pic.
