UPDATE 2: I decided as I took a backup not long ago I would just pull the power and the system has come back up and is speedy fast again which is good.

My logs don't show a problem with SMART or anything so could it be the NAS itself being faulty? And should I try restarting it again now to see if it can point blank?

One option (brute force) is to do a factory reset, and rebuild the NAS from scratch. Then restore the data from the backup.
If the problem is still there, then it could well be the NAS hardware.
