External HDD USB 3.0 causes NAS to stall or freeze
Hi, this is my first post here.
I got a ReadyNAS Ultra 2, with 2x2TB HDD, i used to have a 3TB USB 3.0 HDD connected to the NAS at the front USB 3.0 port, but now whenever i try to move files from the HDD to the NAS it freezes.
BTW i have just installed OS 6, insted of RAIDaitor 4.x.x that might be the reason why i'm having trouble, but maybe someone knew a way around this problem?
I'm moving files with the browser web interface.

- What version of ReadyNAS OS?
Try 6.1.6 RC11 - 6.1.5
The NAS does not originally support OS 6, but so far it seems to Work fine. Except for the USB HDD fail. - Known issue with 6.1.5
Update to 6.1.6-RC11: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=154&t=72282 - Downloading it as posting this message, thanks a lot Guys.
What is the best way to move files from the Ext HDD to the NAS? The web browers seems to navagte a bit slow, and i cant really track how far along the process is. - Well it's best not to move but to copy (then delete from the USB drive if you wish).
You could use a backup job configured using the Dashboard (web-admin interface) perhaps.
