RN104 Issues
Got my shiny RN104 and created a RAID 5 configuration with 4 x 2TB drives with default X-RAID (should I risk selecting Flexible?). About 20 hours later the device was ready to use. Some time later...

You don't have to wait for the RAID sync to complete before placing data on the box. The file system will stripe data in real-time even if the general RAID striping is going on in the background.
Snapshots will use at much free space as possible for additional versions/restore points. As you add more data to your device, snapshots will be pruned automatically to remove some granularity (less restore points). This is done automatically. There is a white paper on Continuous Data Protection (ie. Snapshots) http://www.netgear.com/landing/storage/ ... ess.html#6
Reading at 2MB/s isn't normal. Typical performance numbers are available in the Performance Overview. http://www.netgear.com/landing/storage/ ... ess.html#6
We'll need more information to help debug.
WINS feature request will be considered for a future release.
