Fastest way to move files around within the NAS?
Instead of moving files from one folder to another from Windows Explorer, are there better ways to do this?

You can do that by opening \\nasname\c in explorer (using the NAS admin credentials). That essentially presents the full volume as one share, so if you have two windows like that open you can move files between them "instantly".
Hmmm I didn't know this and will have to try it some time. I'd thought the "best" way to do this was to telnet-in and do it using Linux commands (yeah, not for the timid).
