Readynas PRO file transfer problem

Question

Hello.&nbsp;I recently purchased a used ReadyNAS Pro and started using it, but I have a question about one strange thing.I use Readynas by starting it up when I need it and turning it off when I am done.However, I have found that the first time I copy a file to Readynas after it starts, the transfer rate always drops to 0 bps.Immediately after copying starts, it drops to 0bps, then about 30 seconds later, it rises to 110MB/s and the copying is completed to the end.This phenomenon does not occur on the second and subsequent copies. (The speed is 110 MB/s from the beginning to the end.)This occurs only once after Readynas is started.&nbsp;I have confirmed the following points.　1) Increased ReadyNAS memory to 2GB.　　　→ The time to drop to 0 bps increased by a few seconds, but the result is the same.　2) PC and Readynas are directly connected by LAN cable.　　　→The result is the same.　3) The MTU of the PC was set to 1500 bytes. (The original MTU was 9000)　　　-&gt; Result is the same.　4) Enabled the jumbo frame of PC and Readynas, and set it to 9000.　　-&gt; Result is the same.　5)I transferred from another PC to Readynas.　　→The result is the same.&nbsp;Readynas OS is 4.2.31, PC is Windows 10 22H2.Please let me know if you find a solution.

Do you have disk spindown enabled on the NAS?
&nbsp;
BTW, you can convert your NAS to run OS-6 firmware.

Dear StephenB.&nbsp;　Thank you for your reply.I have disabled the HDD spin down.By the way, I have also enabled the write cache setting.&nbsp;I do not have this problem with the Readynas 316 that I own, so it is certainly possible that the OS6 conversion is valid. (I thought about it for a bit myself.)However, when I converted my old Readynas Ultra6 to OS6, I had a problem where it stopped responding after 3-4 hours of continuous writing, so I&nbsp;have cold feet.

Did you upgrade the stock RAM from 1 GB to 2-4 GB?

Dear StephenB.&nbsp;　I had an old Readynas ultra6 with 2GB of memory.After converting to OS6, when I was writing back data from a backup, I lost response at random times.The copy was interrupted and the admin screen in the browser also became unresponsive.PING response was OK.Light usage was fine, but I was worried so I reverted back to OS4.The Readynas Ultra6 was already broken and I bought a new used Readynas Pro6.When I was using Readynas Ultra with OS4.2.30I did not have this problem.Readynas Pro6 and Ultra6 do not seem to be very different in terms of hardware, but I wonder what the difference is.&nbsp;Somehow I have a feeling that this is a Samba issue. Is there any way to remedy the problem by setting it up, etc.?

FWIW, the CPUs are different.&nbsp; The Ultra 6 uses a 1.66 ghz dual-core Atom CPU, the -200 pro6 uses an E5300

Seems unlikely to be Samba.&nbsp; Hard to say what it is, since there is no way to troubleshoot it (unless you convert it again).
