What model ReadyNAS did the second brick come from?

can I find a similar unit I can just buy and insert my current drives and have access to my drives?
The disks can be directly migrated to any OS-6 ReadyNAS.

I could see the volume and it showed all three partitions as healthy, but I could not assign it a drive letter to pull in up in windows explorer.
That is normal, because Windows doesn't include support for mdadm RAID or the BTRFS file system.
However, there are open-source packages for both mdadm and btrfs that you could try.

It's both. mdadm RAID creates a virtual disk, which holds the BTRFS file system.

ok so I have to install both and start with the mdadm RAID first?

While I know others have used these packages on their Windows PCs with success, personally I've only run mdadm and btrfs on linux.
You do need to install both. But I think you can just run btrfs.
