ReadyNAS Ultra 2 now useless? Windows requires SMB2 to access my files
I'll preface this question by saying that I know almost nothing about networking. I have had this ReadyNAS Ultra 2 set up as a RAID and using it to store my photos, videos and art files for years. It's been great and easy to use. The drives are tested daily and the firmware has been updated automatically. When a drive failed, I was able to replace and rebuild the array quickly and easily. Now after some Windows updates I cannot access the files. I cannot even map to the drive because it "requires the obsolete SMB1 protocol which is unsafe." I don't understand half of what I'm reading on the forums but I gather that this device runs an OS called SAMBA which itself is obsolete. There seems to be some solution that involves losing everything on the drives, but here's the deal: My life is on those drives. I purchased this device so that I could store terabytes worth of precious files without fear of a single drive failure. Tell me there's an easy solution, please! Preferably one that a layman can understand.2.1KViews0likes1Comment
ReadyShare SMB1 Error
Connecting a USB Storage to my router I get the following error when I try to connect. I updated to the latest firmware, but that had no effect. Any ideas? System error 384 has occurred. You can't connect to the file share because it's not secure. This share requires the obsolete SMB1 protocol, which is unsafe and could expose your system to attack. Your system requires SMB2 or higher. For more info on resolving this issue, see: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=852747Solved
