This test apeared to take much longer (1 hour) than it should of and I personally believe it is due to the 4k cluster overlap issues with Advanced Format.

I also think I need DD results for each individual HDD, to help pin down a single drive or highlight that its all of them.

Can someone else who has these HDD's please give this add-on a try. The add-on does not require any changes to SSH.
After it has finished running.... Maybe 1hr unit the Status Log states the Speed and test completed.
The results will be in a folder called benchmark in the ReadyNasPro which can be accessed via command prompt running of

net use P: \\ip-of-readynas\c /user:admin

and then going to P: Drive on My Computer.
Once you have copied the benchmark folder out to desktop remember to right click on P: drive and Disconnect the Mapped network Drive.
