ReadyNAS 104 rediculously slow scrub
I have a ReadyNAS 104 FW 6.6.1. I have 4x 3TB drives in RAID 5 with about 6TB of data. I recently did a full reset and restored all my data. This is the first scrub after that. I started the scru...
The RN104 as a lowend nas is just lacking enough resources to conduct bitrot protection. If you have enabled that you might want to consider to switch this to disabled. With bitrot protection status "disabled" scrubbing is meaningless to my understanding and you should stop conducting it. It is just putting lots of stress on the disks and you are not getting any benefit of it.
Defrag and balance are ok, though.
Netgear moderators please correct me, in case I'm wrong on this.

Bitrot protection works with RAID scrubbing to recover files when there is silent corruption. But RAID scrubbing has value even if bitrot protection is off. So I think your recommendation is incorrect.
Dahwich: Do you have disk spindown enabled?
