Best way to swap drives ReadyNAS nv+ v2
I know that my ReadyNAS nv+ v2 is no longer supported, however I would like to use it as a place to store data that can easily be reproduced. I've had it fitted from day 1 with two 3 TB Western Digit...
With the help of StephenB, I disabled write cache in the new three drive setup, also opted to disable AFP, NFS, ReadyDLNA and UPnP services while I was at it.
Low and behold, this time Robocopy was able to copy 35+ GB at 200 Mbps to the NAS without any issues! So I now have Robocopy copying a lot of other data to the NAS, my guess is that whatever the issue was has gone.
StephenB appreciate your help here.
Any thoughts on why the NAS stops being accessible over the network after copying a (small) amount of data? I feel that this issue should be understood and resolved, otherwise I feel I should put back the original two 3 TB Western Digital WD30EFRX drives.

Just want to add that this is the first time I've seen an issue where disabling the write cache made a difference, so this is certainly unusual.
StephenB I have yet to do more testing with write cache enabled again. It's possible that disabling one of the listed services was what made the difference.
