RN314 Performance Issues
Hi all, I've had a ReadyNAS 314 for about 5 months and have never had any problems to speak of, but lately (the past 3-4 weeks) I've been having noticeable performance problems with it... File ac...
Hello SimonM1,
Do you have any ISCSI configured on the NAS? Backup Job and 3rd party backup on computers pointing to the NAS as destination?
May we also ask if all LAN machines get this same problem when connecting to the NAS?

Hi JennC!
Yes - all machines on the LAN experience the same issues, both in terms of sluggish CIFS performance and inability to reliably load the UI. I have 2 machines on the LAN setup to use Windows File History, storing a copy of files to one of the CIFS shares, although both of these have been setup since day 1 so I'm reasonably confident that these aren't the root of the problem (unless a Windows update has changed something I don't know about)...
The 314 NAS does have a number of local backup jobs which copy data to my old NAS (NV+) which I'm using as a backup at the moment, but these jobs are scheduled to run overnight (about 3am) and seem to complete regularly and are always finished by 9am....
Thanks,
Simon
Quick update - I think the problem is now sorted - thankyou for all your help!
I rebooted the NAS (which took over 3 hrs) before balancing and defragging the disks as suggested. While these jobs were running an error message popped up warning me that one of the local backup jobs had failed which was really odd since all of the jobs were previously marked "Complete" and shouldn't have been running. Sure enough, one of them is now marked "Failed" so I have disabled it and I can only assume that it has become corrupt in some way and way utilising a lot of resource from the NAS causing the slowness... The NAS now seems to be running fine, but I'll keep an eye on it before deleting and re-creating the local backup jobs....

Hello SimonM1,
Sorry for not being able to get back to you to check on your answers to my question as I have been a away for few days.
We are pleased to know it is now working normal as it should and you have narrowed down the causes of the slowness.
