Readynas 102 not backing up and freezing after upgrade to 6.4.2
My client has a Readynas 102 2x3tb system It is backed up by 2 x WD 3TB disks which are rotated and plugged into the front of the Nas. It has always been a bit problematic in that the WD driv...
O.K. I think this discussion has run its course.
Now that this is fixed in 6.5.0 if you have any issues on that you should open a new thread.
I'm closing this thread.

1. I ran a few tests with 2 RN102 from our lab: one on 6.2.5, the another on 6.4.2
2. I copied the exact same data to both of them : 15GB (total) - a mix of big and small files
3. I ran backup jobs on both NASes (full backup of the data volume) using the same USB 3.0 stick, NTFS formated and plugged to the rear ports
4. There was a noticeable difference between the 2 backup jobs: it took over 2 hours on 6.4.2 and around 40 minutes for the one on 6.2.5
This is the same behaviour I see. Transfer speeds of around 1.5MB/s while the GUI becomes unresponsive and the unit requires a hard reset. I have explained in my support ticket (#26576559) that at that rate it would take a month to back up the 4TB drive in my 102.
I just tried this on my RN102 - which is running 6.5.0-T322 beta. The external drive is a Crucial SSD in a Patriot Gauntlet USB enclosure, formatted NTFS. The enclosure was connected to the USB back top port of the RN102.
I ran two local->local backups:
Music: 58.2 GB - 15,414 Files, 974 Folders
42:15 run time, transfer speed ~23,5 MB/sec
Photos: 21.6 GB - 19,417 Files, 483 Folders
16:48 run time, transfer speed ~22 MB/sec

Thanks
Did you try the front port?
Those speeds sound more like it so is this a fix? (Assuming it works of the front port)
