RN102 broken after OS 6.10.4 update
My RN102 appears to be broken after updated to 6.10.4. Not sure which came first, I updated the OS to 6.10.4 and noticed very slow transfer speed when I copied hundreds of JPEG images from the SD car...

Have you downloaded the log zip file, and looked for btrfs and disk-related errors in system.log and kernel.log?
What apps are installed?

I downloaded the log System_log-nas-36-1C-14-20210429-072924.zip this morning but I don't know exactly what to look for. The Log page in Admin looks fine to me; no error, no warning. By the way, the OS was updated on 25/4 6:39pm but the log was not retrieved until 29/4 4:7:29am so there is big chunk of information missing. The only app installed is Transmission.

I redacted your download link (the full log zip shouldn't be posted publicly). But I did take a look.
kernel.log has a lot of errors on disk 1 (sda). For instance, this segement

Alternatively, you could try rebooting the NAS w/o it, (leaving disk 2 in slot 2), and see if you get a more normal speed.
When you replace the disk, avoid the WD20EFAX - it is an SMR drive. A Red Plus drive (another WD20EFRX or WD20EFZX) would be fine.

Do you think the NAS will boot up with Disk 1 taken out? Did you observe similar errors in Disk 2? How likely do you think the problem with the NAS hanging when reading/writing multiple files is related to errors in Disk 1?
What is preferred way of posting a file (other than an image) on the forum?

Re HDD dock, do you mean something like this? What is Lifeguard? Can Windows read the files directly?

Yes

No, and it won't mount the disk. But Lifeguard will see it, and you can test it.
If you boot the NAS with just disk 2, and then later on want to reinsert disk 1: You will need to resync disk 1, which rebuilds it's contents from scratch. So you might as well also run the destructive "erase disk" (might be called "write zeros") test as well as the non-destructive tests I suggested.
If you want the option to reinsert disk 1 w/o resync, then you need to keep the NAS powered down until you test the disk. But given the errors, I'd just replace the disk.

Western Digital's diagnostic utility. You can download it from here: https://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?p=3
Though it looks like they've replaced it with a newer utility ( https://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?lang=en&p=279 ), so you could try that one. But Lifeguard will still work.
