ReadyNas 214
So on February 16, 2021 we had a winter storm here in Texas. On that date we lost power, regained, lost, regained, lost (for 20 hours), regained. I at some point did power down system and the rest ...
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.
Is there anybody else who has any idea why my system is doing this?

Sandshark The LAN activity lights are on. The whole system is on, it just will not respond and it is not actually serving the files (my z: drive disappears.

That's a good sign that the hardware is probably fine. I see in your top output that tracker is taking up a lot of CPU time. I suggest you try disabling File Search in the system settings and see if that helps. After you've done that, watch top while you are doing the transfer and see if anything else suddenly jumps to the top using a lot of CPU.
Sandshark Wow. I just noticed that. So i disabled File search and now nothing uses even 10%. see attachment
What does filesearch do?
