Data transfers stop/starting constantly
Hi, My ReadyNAS 316, with firmware version 6.10.5 and has 6 X 6TB hard drives in it, ocassionally starts/stops or slows down/speeds up sending data to/from the devcice. I have rebooted the device...
All 6 are WD60EFRX 6TB drives.
I do not believe they are the issue as all drives test are passed with no problems.
I did an OS reinstall yesterday after removing the NAS from the corner it sits in and giving a good vacuum to remove all the dust that has built up over 3 years. It seems better now, as no movies have skipped or buffered since.. But I will just have to test it more...

So not SMR, which is good.
If you are comfortable with ssh, then I suggest doing smartcrtl -x on these drives, and look at the error log. I have used these drives (and still do have on in service). Several others generated errors in the -x smart log that were not logged by the system, and did not show up in the smart stats. I was seeing some issues, so I took them out of service.
I'm not suggesting that your drives are having the same issue, just that it is something I recommend looking at.
