Defrag
Does Defragging the NAS have any effect on performance? If so, how would I go about defragging it using Windows (64 bit, Windows 7 Ultimate)?

the short answer is no. *
the best way to fight fragmentation is to keep 10-20% free space available
I DO need to get some stuff off my NAS hard drives. They're 3 TB drives, and I currently have 255 GBs free on one drive, and 22 GBs free on another. I'd like to get 2 more drives (Running in RAID 1 Mode), just wish they came in larger sizes. Like to throw a couple of 6 TB drives in there, and have a total of 12 TBs of space!
