Readynas 104 drops out when copying to it

Hello all,

please add me to the list! :(

I came across exact the same problems in the last 4 weeks!! :evil:

I am a longterm user of ReadyNASs and I was always pretty happy with those. Started with the old 600s....Duo....NV+.....Ultra4....104...314.
So my productive rig was the Ultra4 with 4x3TB. Which was at 99% full.
So I bought 4x4TB and added them step by step. After waiting for the expansion to finish I realized that I used an old 500GB disc back in the old days to set it up. So the NAS could not expand to full capacity! :(

So I thought, time for a new rig. So I bought a 104.....and before setting it up completey I exchanged it with a 314.
So now I put the "old" 4x3TB in the 104 than copied all files off the Ultra4 to the 104. Than added the 4x4TB to the 314 and again copied all files from the 104 to the 314. As this took more than 2 weeks as I was always having trouble with copying!....dropped connections....could not write....all that kind of sh..t.
I finally had all files on the new NAS yesterday! :) .....and got rid of the 104. so now I have the Ultra4 and the 314......

And now you guys tell me.....with all the problems I have/had I will have to used the next firmware AND do a Factory Reset !! :twisted:
So where exactly should I now "safe" the ~8TB of Data ???

And as others said: All the time wasted! To find out, that you have to do it again! :cry:

Well it is good news, that finally you found the root cause...and it is supposed to be fixed in the next firmware, but the consequence to do factory defaults all the time....is really.....annoying!

The CHEAPEST solution is to buy another 2x4TB disks and use them to copy all data to.....but that is another 350 Euros least! That is almost the PRICE of the 314 !!!!
Piece of sh...t.

So....I really hope in the future....this won't happen too often.
Because right now....I really can't find any reason to buy another ReadyNAS ever again!

Cheers
Hossa
