ReadyNAS 102 blinking blue light and trouble accessing share

Have you checked for drive errors? Those can slow things down.
Are scrubs and balances being performed on a regular basis? Those will help maintain the volume integrity as well as help identify any issues with the drives. The drive test can also be scheduled, On a 102, a scrub makes accessing the unit quite slow, so I recommend it being done over a weekend for a business. But the scheduler doesn't let you choose a day of the week unless you do it weekly (which is way more often than needed), so putting it on a calendar to manually initiate before leaving on a Friday every three months or so may be a better solution.
If scrubs are already scheduled, might it have been in the middle of one?
To be honest I really dont know. Its years since I had anything to do with it. I suspect no maintenance has been done ever but I think that might have been set up automatically. I did wonder if it was in the middle of something. They said it had been acting up all morning. Ive not heard back from them since they got back into it a couple of hours ago so maybe its sorted.
