Media folder too large.?
I just bought a readynas 102.. setting up has been painfully slow all round.. eventually I have used the backup option to copy movies from my external hard drive to the Nas in a folder called movies. ...
It's a USB 3 connected to the front. My main issue at the moment is when I click on the movie folder to view the movie files on the Nas storage it just hangs with the little circle showing that it's loading then it just stops and nothings shows.. so I click on the movie folder gain and the same thing happens. I have raid set to 0 so I have more space.. all new hard drives etc

That's a USB 2 port, so it will be a lot slower than using the rear ports.

If you have one volume spanning both drives, then RAID-0 is very fragile. If either drive fails, everything is lost. So backups are particularly important if you use that mode. FWIW, one volume for each drive is safer, though you do need to manually balance the storage (keeping adequate free space on both volumes).
What drive model are you using?

Of course it shouldn't be doing that. Are you looking via the web ui, or windows explorer?
