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 Yes, this isn't really supported - but this applies to your outdated NAS anyway.

The newest version of Java I got to work was Java 8. In particular, this binary worked correctly:
No idea if you'll neet to remove the existing JVM before you install this or not.

Thank you for the help.
Loaded Java and Raidar 6.0 but still can not find the NAS

How long has it been since you were able to access the NAS?

Trying powering down the NAS, and then removing the hard drives. Label them by slot, so you can put them back into the same place.
Then power up the NAS with no disks, and see if RAIDar finds them that way. You should also see it in your router's attached device list.
