The chipset is RTL8211/8212 and is not listed on The Realtek Taiwan website. It is builtin to the Asus X58 Sabertooth motherboard.

I suspect that's just a marketing name. Realtek has all their HD Audio drivers and PCIe NIC drivers in the same zips/installers. If you grab the right installer from the page I linked, it'll probably install just fine, despite not listing that particular one.

The NAS was updated at first switch on and was 4.1.8 at the time of the factory reset. I'm hoping 4.1.9 will be the magic bullet but I won't hold my breath ... lol

Good luck. T15 has good reports so far. Hope it helps.

Edit: Ahh, 4.1.9 was just released!

I do have another question to ask you and Stephen though, does your NAS fan increase in speed at random intervals?

Last time I checked, they did - but my NAS is now in another room, so I can't say for certain if it's been doing it recently.

My fan seems to have a mind of it's own and will increase in speed and volume at what appears to be random intervals. I could understand it if the drives were increasing in temperature, but they don't appear to be. I don't have an actual thermometer to read the drive or even the enclosure temp with and the Smart logs don't indicate any changes in temp of the drives, so there is nothing to show why the fan speed increases. There is no mention of the increased fan speed anywhere within the logs either.

It could be related to CPU usage. If you SSH in and run top, you can see the CPU usage bouncing all over the place as the NAS and your addons do things.
