Hi shredder56,
Welcome to the community!
Thank you for reporting this issue. I would like to know if this happens when an external USB device is connected to your ReadyNAS doing USB backups or file access? If not, is the device working fine or stable? With regard to the USB name format, we may have to run some tests to see if we will have the same name format behavior that was mentioned in your post.
I look forward to your response.
Kind regards,

Hi,
I just connect USB drive to either of the two ports and start to use it (I map is as a network drive on my PC). Within a few seconds the whole NAS box hangs. I have to unplug the power cord and reconnect. If I don't connect a USB drive there are no problems.
I logged a case with Netgear and so far have not had any proper answer.
