Unfortunately no :-(
I forced the poweroff from the front panel.
I bought a new external SSD 2TB and an eSata/USB-C cable to make the ReadyNas Backup.
I restarted the ReadyNas, it seems more stable, I have access to WebUI now.
I connected the new external SSD (formated in GPT with a NTFS partition) on the eSata...nothing on the WebUI, same with the rear USB. Only the front USB can find/start the external SSD.
I think there a hardware problem with the rear USB and eSata.
So now, I started the full backup of the ReadyNas on my external SSD Samsung 9100 2TB, faster than my previous external disk.
I let you know when it's finished...after that I will try a factory reset of the ReadNas and check if the SMB service can be enabling or not after this master reset.
If not, I will open an RMA ticket to Netgear support because my RN422 still under official warranty for 1 month
