Is there any firmware for a N5200PRO to support SMB2 ?

[loopingz]

Hi there,

I own a N5200B-PRO  FW 2.00.18.4
I don't remember the ram amount, and I don't see it in the admin console. I can open and check if needed.
PSU is almost new. It is pretty stock other than that.
5x1.5To Pro disks around 30k hours, 2 with warnings, RAID6 setup. One spare disk.

Main goal would be to have it working for windows 10.
Currently windows 10 reject it as it uses SMB1 and not SMB2.

I see various ways to tackle my issues.

-Access it through linux and backup (I have a spare 10To lying around). Sell or trash it after?
-Install a firmware or module that could work for SMB2: would be great.
-Trick windows, why not? Edit: I ticked one more option in SMB and it works
-What happen if I purchase some newer hardware like a N5810pro or something else? Edit: I would be interested to know but for now I will discard this option)
      Will it read the RAID6 array with no issue?
      Drawbacks expensive at first (and more expensive when I change disks) and I am not sure I want to continue with Thecus and RAID6.
      I was considering RAID1 8 or 10To and it might be a different brand too.

Any constructive advice is welcome.

Hello there,

I don't have access to firmware (FW) other than v2.00.18.4 (official) and beta of v2.00.18.8 for my N5200PRO.
Samba v3.4.3 under FW v2.00.18.4 seems not to have support for something other than SMB1.
Mounting will fail under more state-of-the-art Windows OS releases but maybe you can activate SMB1 support from this site, even it's insecure.
Workaround could maybe to access your files by using browser in your local network.
Yes, all but perfect.

Maybe newer FW will include Samba v4 which supports SMB2 but unfortunatelly never downloaded these.
Could someone temporarily provide these files, please?

FW v2.1.09 ?

Maybe a good chance to upgrade FW or NAS here, but just bought an HDD updgrade consisting of five 2TiB discs with 512n format. I don't want to replace the old/insecure NAS. It's still required by legacy hardware via NFS v2/v3 but always wanted to give RAID expansion a try.
