Readynas PRO file transfer problem
Hello. 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 a...
Dear StephenB.
Thank you for your reply.
I have disabled the HDD spin down.
By the way, I have also enabled the write cache setting.
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 have cold feet.

Did you upgrade the stock RAM from 1 GB to 2-4 GB?
Dear StephenB.
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 OS4.2.30
I 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.Somehow I have a feeling that this is a Samba issue. Is there any way to remedy the problem by setting it up, etc.?

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

But if it's actually an old "ReadyNAS Pro" (-100) and not a "Pro6" (-200), it has a Pentium Dual E2160 @ 1.80GHz and it would help a lot if you upgrade it. You can get a Core2 Duo E7600 @ 3.06GHz for it, but you absolutely must make sure the BIOS is up to date before you do. There is much less performance increase replacing the Pentium Dual E5300 @ 2.60GHz of the -200 model, but it's cheap these days, so do as you see fit.
