From scratch; 'resyncing' new drives is taking a week, should I be concerned? Follow Up
I wanted to follow up on the original article but it was closed (https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/Connect-2-ReadyNAS-104-via-USB-for-data-transfer/m-p/2165074#M47178). I'v...
forgot to mention...it does take days to resync from new and admin page when monitoring does crap out from time to time...
DO NOT powerdown/restart while resyncing...even though new drives, it will restart from scratch the whole resync process (lesson learned hard way)
What specific drives are you using? I hope that "good deal" wasn't for "archive" drives or any that are SMR, as they are not a good choice and will have very poor write performance.
yep..not SMR
First NAS - 4 x seagate 8TB st8000vn0022 Ironwolf's
Second NAS - 1 x HGST 8TB + 3 x Toshiba hdwr180 8TB (this was the crap shoot with the 3 toshiba drives under $200 cdn each plus my spare HGST)
So far so good...but again, second nas is going to be DAYS to resync

While you havew access to the admin GUI, I suggest you download the log zip file and look for any reported SMART errors. I have seen reports of sync errors on Toshiba X300 series drives (though most are old, so the problem may be fixed), and those would definately slow down a sync.
Also be aware that the time estimate for a sync is often quite a bit off at the beginning.
