RND2150/2 reads like a ReadyNAS RND2150 v2. No driers required, as this is a network attached storage device (NAS). You access this from Windows (or any other computer able to access SMB 1.0*) computer using the SMB protocol. Sure, you might have to enable SMB 1.0 (CIFS) support on your newer Windows 10/11. Smarter (but requiring some more effort) would be to migrate this to a ReadyNAS OS 6 system. Yes, this isn't really supported - but this applies to your outdated NAS anyway.

While the process is not difficult: Most active users here never had to convert an r4 to an OS6 system. Doing it requires a full backup (independent of the the ReadyNAS), inherits the need for a factors reset including erasing all existing volumes. Take it as a not so-smart advise from my side.

Start by installing RAIDar 6.5 on the new PC from here:
Let us know if it finds the NAS on your network. If it does, then give us the IP address and any status.
If you know how to take a Windows screen shot, then try posting the RAIDar screen that way.
