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. ...
I have been using Google Chrome, the movie files have just become visible so I assume perhaps it just couldn't access the file during the backup process.
Is there a way to create individual files for each hard drive in a raid 0 setup or would I need to format and start again?
Also while I have your input I am quite new to streaming and networking I will be using a raspberry pi 3 for streaming he movies from the Nas us smb the fastest connection method?

You should have backups with any RAID format though.

Even full BluRay only requires about 6-7 megabytes per second, and a typical MKV requires much less. There's no need for plex if you are using SMB - plex and ReadyDLNA use their own connection methods.
I just tried connecting my usb3 external hard drive to the rear of the nas unit as you said to move files faster, but it didnt show up so i tried restarting the nas, it took a while to load and then said i have no volumes setup... have i lost everthing?
I have retarted the nas and disconnected the usb drive, it now says the readynas admin page is offline?
Hello Jacobnz,
Did you not safely remove the USB disk? There is an eject button on the admin page before unplugging the usb disk. Try rebooting the NAS again without the USB disk again and see if the admin page will load.
