You are running OS-6 on the Pro-6. When you say "latest", do you mean 6.10.5 hotfix 1?

Hi, yes running 10.6.5 from Netgear downloads

drives is in NTFS as it contains video files bigger than 2gb

Like i said, it was all setup fine but lately when i checked the NAS GUI , it now shows as "NOT SHARED" and cannot enable SMB on it.
The other USB drive , also NTFS (which is a backup of the one with the issue) works and behaves normally (as in screenshot in OP)..

I too the drive away and tested it on my Windows 10, CrystalDisk info reported no issues and the drive Healthy.

it is def something that has happpened on the NAS OS....but what ? And how do i fix it....?

thanks

  Not sure how to fix it (fwiw, I don't use USB drives with my ReadyNAS, so it's not something I've run into).
