Slow share performance on my RN 104 since upgrading to 6.4.0
I upgraded to 6.4.0 two days ago, obviously now wishing I'd checked the forums first as my ReadyNAS was running fine on 6.2.5, but didn't think they'd send out such a poor release. Anyhow, I've s...
Well, that's great for you if you have all of that storage, but I don't. For my use case, yes, the data has value, but can't be backed up because I don't have 12TB+ of spare capacity (my RN104 has 4x 4TB drives).
FWIW, my use case is that the ReadyNAS contains ripped copies of my extensive DVD and BluRay collection for me to watch on my media streamer without needing to hop between discs. As I value quality, the rips are quite large and take time to encode, and so although they can be replaced from the original media, it would take many thousands of hours to do this as I've been building my collection for years.
But, I shouldn't need to justify any of this in order to get help and I agree that snarky comments from representatives of the company or forums aren't helping us get anywhere. Neither are my snarky comments back (obviously) but really, we're the customers here.
The bottom line for me is that Netgear "broke" the performance with a firmware update and they should be able to "fix" it with one too.
If they cannot do this, then they should tell us so. Definitively. Officially. Then we can all move on and this hassle and stress can be over.
