Based on preliminary testing, I believe that NetGear L3 support has solved my problem via a CIFS service patch that has been incorporated into beta FW 4.2.20-T19. L3 Support remoted into my NAS and updated the FW .20-T19 and the problem now appears to have been corrected.
Chirpa has made the beta firmware available in the Public RAIDiator Beta for ReadyNAS x86 (Pro/NVX/2100/3100/3200/4200) forum. Bug Fix #6 is supposed to address the issue that I've been encountering with Windows 7 x64.
I plan to fully test and monitor my ReadyNAS Pro that was having this issue over next few days to fully confirm that the problem has been resolved. Once my confidence is regained, I plan to update my second RNDP6000 Pro from FW 4.2.15 to FW 4.2.20-T19 and verifiy its functionaility.
I'll post an update regarding this in a few days.
NOTE: When I spoke with L3 support, they recommeded that when upgrading from FW 4.2.15, you should first update to FW 4.2.16 and then to FW 4.2.19+. This was in part due to automatic changes that are made in the partition format by FW 4.2.16. Its also important to note that you cannot downgrade back to FW 4.2.15 after updating due to these same changes. I plan to follow this advice when upgrading my second ReadyNAS Pro from FW 4.2.15 to FW 4.2.20-T19. I didn't do this when I upgraded my first ReadyNAS Pro from FW 4.2.15 to FW 4.2.19 (Although skipping FW 4.2.16 didn't cause my problem).
