Which test-mode do you use in the Seatools?
-Basic Test ->Long Generic?

No, fortunately that is rare.

It will run the SMART test built into the drive. Usually I run the manufacturer diags (seatools in this case) on a PC before using the drives in the NAS. That is time-consuming, but I'd rather find problems with drives before I install.

Running an NFS backup job on the RN516 over a gigabit network. Then edit the job to rsync, and re-run. That is faster than Windows explorer. I do this one share at a time.
