Using ISCSI makes the drive appear functional locally. Access rights can be tricky for CIFS/SMB since they're user-specific on Windows, so running apps as administrator usually doesn't help.
The guide suggests using iSCSI, but it mentions Total Capacity. Your setup already has a shared folder on the NAS, which could create a separate folder. This might reduce available storage for other uses like your media library. You can adjust the size later if needed.
Thanks for the advice! iSCSI performed very well. If anyone prefers a video guide over reading instructions, you don’t have to set up the CHAP login unless you’re okay with others having access to the drive.
