Start by downloading the full log zip file from the log page.  Then look in disk-info.log and see if there are disk errors in the smart stat counts.

 

Also, did the speed drop recently?  Or has it been slow for a while?  

 

Did you try simply rebooting the NAS?

Hi Stephen,

 

Thanks for replying so quickly.

 

There doesn't appear to be any disk errors.

 

The speed issue started on Friday . Until then there hasn't been any issues with it.

 

I've tried re-booting the nas a coule of times but it doesn't help, unfortunately.

 

Thanks,

R
