It was working previously while I was in my temporary home, and now that i'm in my home (while I wait for my network to be completed), I tried again to hook up the ReadyNas to my USbC switch into my mac laptop.
What ReadyNAS model do you own? Unfortunately data loss is a real possibility.
Do you have any experience with the linux command line?
nice to hear from you again Stephen. I recalled you helped me a year or so ago with an issue with this device.
RN212 – 2 BAY Desktop ReadyNAS Storage
Model / Version: RN212
I was reading something on the forums about maybe the upgrade to 6.10 causing an issue? I don't really have Linux experience, but with instructions I can manage.
You cannot access a ReadyNAS via the USB port, so I'm not sure what you are trying to do with the USB switch. You can access it via direct connection of the Ethernet cables or through a switch w/o DHCP if you set the static IPs correctly.

Its kind of hard to give instructions without being able to get logs. So the inability to detect disks is a big barrier.
Do you have access to a Windows PC? ReclaiMe might be an option, but that does not run on Macs.
correct, I was referring to: USB-C ethernet switch (that is a switch with a built-in USB-C adapter).
I do not not have access to a windows PC at the moment, but can try and source one temporarily. Can you please provide next steps on what would be needed to get the logs and ill try that route?
