Not sure what do about my old ReadyNAS NV+ v2 to make use of it?

These 6TB drives are Western Digital Blue drives.

WDC WD60EZRZ-00RWYB1 5588 GB

All shucked from WD My Book enclosures.

Looking them up it says they are CMR drives, not SMR.

"Recording Technology: Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) Technology"

I hope they work.  If not I have to toss this box.

The WDC blue datasheet only lists the WD60EZAZ (SMR)and WD60EZAX (CMR).  But the WD60EZRZ is an old model (2015 or so), so it predates the shift to SMR desktop drives.

Ok.  Manuals are here:

• https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS%20ARM-PLATFORM%20(DUO%20V2,%20NV+%20V2)/RAIDiator%205.3%20SW%20Manual_5Sep12.pdf

The factory default procedure is in the hardware manual (look in the boot menu section).  Since one drive is at least partly synced, you should probably just use the boot menu to force the clean installation.

The NAS only support SMB 1/CIFS, so you will need to enable that on Windows PCs.  Microsoft has warned that at some point they'll remove SMB 1 altogether.  You could still use FTP (FileZilla or WinSCP), or NFS when that happens.

You also likely have run into the SSL protocol version mismatch problem with the browsers.  There is a third-party addon that can be installed to add support for TLS 1.2  You can get that here:
