ReadyNAS NVX - SMB not working after disk replacement
I've got a 4 disk ReadyNAS NVX set up with x-raid2. One of my disks died and I replaced it so it could be re-built, as soon as the re-build was done another disk died so I replaced that one as well,...
Does it give you the same SMB problem whether you use the IP address or NAS name? Windows seems to have issues with proper access by name, even on newer OS6 units.
Also, are you using Share or User security mode? Share mode was depreciated some time ago, in large part due to issues with Win10.
I get the same basic problem although it's worded differently with both IP vs hostname. It asks for username and password and then gives me an error, I listed them in my original post. I'm not sure where I would change user vs security mode, this is an older unit so maybe I don't have that option? It does show my user is there with plenty of disk usage, see attached file.

Actually the share mode option was deprecated and it will disappear if you do a factory install with newer firmware. But you have a user account, so you are definitely using user security.
Try running CMD on the PC and enter this:
net use * /delete /y net use t: \\nas-ip-address\C /user:admin nas-admin-password
using the real NAS ip address and admin password of course. Note this won't work if you are using the default password of netgear1. If you are using that password, use a sharename instead of \C.
Do be careful on the typing (both the slash directions and the spaces).
The first command terminates any open SMB session; the second attempts to mount your full data volume as drive letter T. That requires admin credentials, your user account won't work.
StephenB when I terminate open sessions it just says "There are no entries in the list." And upon running the second command to map it to the T: drive it tells me:
"System error 64 has occurred.
The specified network name is no longer available"
I did used to be able to navigate to the root of the drive and see my user home folder, the media folder, and a backup share I have.

That just means there are no SMB sessions open.

This is using the NAS IP address? Or the host name?
If you using Windows 10, you should probably check that the SMB 1.0/CIFS client is still enabled for the PC. Do that by going into "turn windows features on or off".
