Please tell me, to use R-linux for Windows, do I need to connect all drives to the PC at the same time or can they be connected one by one?
You'd need to connect them all somehow. If the PC has enough space, I think you could image them to iso (one at a time) and then mount them as drive letters.
I agree it is less convenient. It is a bit safer (assuming you don't accidentally damage a disk in handling), as it doesn't change the contents of any of the disks.

If I use SSH, I don't need a PC and adapters? Will it be enough to connect to the NAS and run commands through the terminal?
Correct, you'd just be running commands from the linux command line. If you can't enable ssh now, then you could instead boot in tech support mode (connecting with telnet instead of ssh, but still using the linux command line).
Do you have experience running linux commands?

I don't have much experience in executing SSH commands, but I do. But with a volume equal to the ISO images of all disks, I will almost certainly have problems.

I'm afraid I'll be wrong, so I'll clarify:
In order to enable SSH you need to install add-on: http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/arm/5.3/EnableRootSSH_1.0-arm.bin

Am I right?Yes. Then you log into the NAS using either the built-in ssh command or with a client called putty. You normally use root as the username with the NAS admin password.
If that fails for some reason, you can fall back to tech support mode.
