How can I make the internal SSD in my Roon Nucleus One visible and accessible on my Network?
ASUS RT-AX3000, Windows 11, Roon Nucleus ONE
Access the webUI and format the internal drive
Hey @Jared_Harrison,
Welcome to the community! We’re excited to have you here - @Mr.Flibble is correct in the above reply. You should be able to format the new drive once you access the webUI of your Nuclues.
Here’s some additional information on the webUI as well:
Let me know if this helps! 
Yes, all set here I can see the SSD and it has been formatted. Can’t figure out how to get it accessible on my Network to add and manage music files…
Put \\NUCLEUSONE\Data\Storage\InternalStorage into the address bar of Windows (file) Explorer or MacOS Finder. Additionally if needed:
Ah, I see.
You mention Windows 11. Can we assume this is what you’re controlling Roon, with the Roon Client.
@BlackJack beat me to it
Thank you. Yes, it seems to be a credentials issue to access the Roon SSD on the network. I check the document you reference.
Whoa… I either need to disable SMB or find someway within Roon to setup a USERNAME and PASSWORD?
Username and password are already set (guest). What you need to do is to allow insecure guest logins.
Hey @Jared_Harrison,
From your description, it sounds like you’re running into a known issue caused by Microsoft tightening security. The username and password is still guest and guest, to access Roon OS, but now you’ll have to perform a few extra steps to tell Windows that it’s OK to connect to your Nucleus as well.
This article breaks down how to solve it:

Thank you all who have replied to my inquiry. I think I now understand the security issue caused by Windows 11. I’ll have to work through extra steps. Really appreciate the help!
No problem at all @Jared_Harrison - thank you to @BlackJack and @Mr.Flibble for proving all the help as well!
Let us know how it all goes and if you’re able to connect

I was able to connect the Roon internal SSD as a network location. I was able to add/import a couple of audio files.
My follow-up question is: If you use your internal SSD to store your music collection (or a large part of it) how do you go about adding your music to the SSD? Importing through Roon? Seems pretty inefficient. I’ve got over 2000 song on over 700 albums. What is the best way to get them into Roon and properly analyzed and cataloged – I the goal is to have them all on the internal SSD drive?
So what is the question if you’ve already managed to do it? Moving around files/folders is basic computer stuff you do in Windows Explorer (and has nothing to do with Roon at all). If you want to copy a lot of data over your network then your network speed is likely your limiting factor (or a slow HDD maybe) that will determine how long the transfer takes to finish. Please note that it is recommended to turn off Roon Server temporarily during the duration of the transfer. You can do that from the administration page. As you only have to transfer all your music once, give it the time it requires to finish the big job.
Think about a good backup strategy as you likely don’t want to lose your files and start over ripping anew.
Hello @Jared_Harrison,
Thank you for the update, your concerns a just a little bit unclear.
Let’s break it down with a practical estimate for transferring 2000 songs from an external HDD to an internal SSD over a 1 Gbps Ethernet network.
2000 songs × 10 MB = 20,000 MB (≈ 20 GB)Transfer Time Estimate:
Transferring 2000 songs (~20 GB) over 1 Gbps Ethernet would take about 3 to 4 minutes under good conditions. Let’s increase the estimate up to 15-20 minutes as we have a lot of small files.
