Basic Use of ReadyNAS

Yes mapping the HDD will basically make it look like any HDD directly connected to your computer, with a assigned drive letter of your choosing. So while Windows is on C: Your NAS could be on R: like I have my NAS set to, or basically any letter you don't use. Then you can also Name it whatever you want like like any other HDD. You can read/write like anything else for most all programs.
The only program I used that Mapping didn't work was when I was running SONARR on my Windows computer and having it accessing the NAS.

FWIW, SONARR does handle that now, my Win 10 desktop has SONARR installed, with my Pro data volume mapped to a drive letter.
That's good to know that they took care of that minor problem. Last time I ran it on Windows it didn't work. Since I run it on my NAS, there's is no Mapping drive letters, so nothing changed for me. That's nice to know if I ever switch back.
