    I thought I'd update this thread on where I am in the process.   I have pretty much loaded most of my files on to the NAS either by USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 using the backup set up in the NAS or by file transfer using the webi interface and my desktop computer with my USB 3.0 drive connected.   All I can say, its just a slow process anyway you do it. I have loaded just under 6TB of files and folders and it gets done, just don't be in a hurry.   I don't know what sending logs at this point will do it seems to be working just slow for large transfers.  Once I have everything up it will be only small amount of files at a time. 

     

    One thing I had issues with using  my desktop.  My main browser has been Firefox for years but when I tried to move "Folders" to the NAS over the network I got a message that said "The upload folder function is unavailable, use Google Chrome"  I did a search and it seems like it's an issue with Firefox as there are quite  few folks posting similar issues on many form topics.   So, I loaded Chrome this morning and I'm doing some uploads.   These are my ripped CD collection so each of my artists has a folder, in that folder there is a folder for each cD I have in my collection and then songs under that... it seems to be copying fine.   One thing I did run in to I attempted to take the full content of the folders ( about 100gb) and the NAS just seemd to stop and it showed the amount of files to be uploaded but just sat there, so I stopped that and choose only about half the amount of files and now it is working transfering thoes to the NAS.  

     

    Again, I think that once I get everything up on the NAS the issues will be little, it's just getting there that is taking a bit of time. 

     

    My desktop is new,  I7, 16GB ram, with GB ethernet,  My whole network is gb so I am not sure where the bottle neck is.  I will probably install Terra Copy today and try a few more files and see if I can get an idea on what it shows as speed as the windows 10 does not show me that.  

     

    So, that's about it for now I guess...  should I just go and close this thread now?
