Ok, still running on the new beta firmware you suggested, I removed the 2x 2TB compatable nas hdd's from ultra2 replaced them with one brand new 2TB hdd, formated, setup nas then I rsync'd a share (98gb) from one of the Rn31200 to the ultra 2, Bingo!! no errors!! restarted a few times, rebooted a few times, still no BitRot errors, rsync another full share (450Gb) over hopefully when that finishes I get no errors it will be solved.

That's very odd.

Which services are you running?

Do you have any apps installed?

Nothing on the nas except some mp4s & mkv files backed up from my main nas & 1 app "Plex" but it's allways toggled Off (not used)
