Ohhh ReadyNas
Hi there. Rarely do I have the need to express myself like this. But I'm on the verge. HERE GOES: I've never ever bought soo flustrating and PITA piece of tech than ReadyNAS. In 20...
Nas is recovering third HDD from two 3TB drives at raid 1 at 80% full. Started yesterday at 10p.m and now it's 9 a.m and it's 21.31% done. Is this even normal?!

It is slow. Since this was originally a 3 disk volume, you are running degraded RAID-5, not RAID-1. Every sector on the two remaining drives needs to be read; then the corresponding sector on the third disk is reconstructed and then written. Volume fullness doesn't matter, this is done sector by sector (RAID creates a virtual volume, the file system lives on top of that).
But I'd expect something closer to 24 hours than 60.
If you have ReadyDLNA running, disable it temporarily. The resync is a low-priority task, and anything that uses the disks will interrupt it.
