Can I use ReadyNas as a hard drive for my lightroom 6?
I have a computer I built with running Windows 10 PRO. I only have a 240GB SSD for my hard drive. What I want know is can I also use the RN204 for my Network backup and also use it to work from Lightroom 6 for my photography? I have tried to get it too work but no luck. I currently have it set up with ethernet cables connected to my Netgear AC1750 Wi-Fi router. Do I need to run a USB 3 cord from my computer to the RN204? I used to use my old WD backup drive to work from until it died and I lost all my pictures. So I decided to get the RN204 and put 2 network WD 2 TB drives in it.
Can someone help me with this?

Was that old WD backup drive a USB disk?
The NAS is not a USB peripheral and you can't use it as such.
Does Lightroom work with network drives? If not, you will need to consider using iSCSI. I would recommend connecting your PC to your network using ethernet if you want to use iSCSI.
