Hi there,

 

the NAS is fresh out of the box with no apps installed and Firmware 6.4.2 running.

I'm not using the data on the NAS in any way for now.

 

If it's only a performance problem I just have to wait, right?

 

Thanx

Wolfgang

      O.K. so it doesn't sound like you are running anything that should slow the sync to a crawl.

        After a week the 3rd drive was perfecly ingetrated.

        But writing files to the NAS went from 85MB/Sec (2 Discs) to 18 MB/Sec (3 Discs). Is this normal?
