Can you see if the LAN activity light is still active when the transfer goes to zero? Although a factory default is probably the best thing to try first, you could have a failing power supply. The NIC subsystem is powered by the +5VSB (+5 volt standby) part of the power supply, which powers only the NIC and power on/off circuits. Even if the NAS is "off", that power is still on unless the plug is pulled. Multiple mains power cycles, especially any "brownout" conditions in between, may have damaged that portion of the supply.
While the supply appears to be a standard flex ATX (aka mini ITX) supply, the pin-out is non-standard. If a factory default doesn't fix the problem, then using an adapter cable and a standard ATX supply (if you have one available) externally is a good way to check if the power supply is the problem.

Would be best to check on the full logs. You can share it to me via Google drive or a similar service. PM me the link so we can check if the issue with the NAS.

In a previous topic (2018) I was asked to send a top command in ssh. I have completed that.

Marc_V The ysstem seems to be going from like 2 mb/s to 0 then a about 10 seconds latere back to 2 then 0. Whats the quickest way to get the files off? I am trying to clear storage so that I can factory default the machine. It seems to have problems with Amazon Drive, Email Service, and possibly the maintanance tasks.
