Windows 10: Anyone care to share their NAS experience Like buffalo or WD type nas

Would anyone care to share their experience with NAS boxes like WD or Buffalo. Are they secure ? Do you have to enable smb1 to make them work ? I would like to know how these work out with windows 10 and how hard they are to set up.
How does windows see it ?
Thank you

:)

 

Can't open WD NAS drives after update KB4034674

Windows 10 Home, v 1703, build 15063.540

My NAS devices ( WD EX4100 and WD MyBook Live Duo 8TB ) both display as a device in Explorer, but can't be opened ( to view files / folders ) in File Explorer since the Aug 8 update. The WD NAS admin page is available via browser from the same PC, and streams
media successfully. I can't map them with the \\devicename\share names, and existing shares with \\devicename\share can't be opened. Both drives are static IP, and their configurations have not changed in months.

If I click either drive listed under the Network section, Explorer's status bar slowly fills for a minute and then displays:

Error code 0x80070035

The network path was not found

If I try to map a drive, the device names are listed in the Map Network Drive dialog, but the Browse for Folder times out as above

 

Buffalo NAS Navagator 2.82 Connection Errors


I have three Dell XPS desktops (two 8700 and one 8300) and two Buffalo NAS units connected to my home network. When I run Buffalo NAS Navigator V 2.82 (the latest version) on one of the 8700s is see the following communication errors from both NAS units (the other 8700 desktop shown no errors):



When they errors are expanded they are "drive info not returned" and "error info not returned." I can browse the shares on both units, both through Navigator and my Windows 10 PC with no problems. I can create and delete files just as I always have and I can log into then through the browser function and no errors are reported. Clearly both units are operating correctly, or so it would appear. I've uninstalled NAS Navigator and reinstalled but the communication error notices persist. I have the latest version of Navigator (2.82) and the firmware on both NAS units is current. The last time I used NAS Navigator on 4/13 there were no communication errors. I'm running Win 10 V 10586.218 on both desktops. Any thoughts about what might be causing this on one desktop and not the other and how I mighty be able to fix it?

Update: I found this event log entry from the first failure of NAS Navigator. Anyone with any additional ideas?

 

Buffalo Nas Navigator

Not sure if you already have the NAS Navigator software for Buffalo, but it may help the connection:
