I was not aware that adding the 1GB Memory was not supported. If you think removing the module might help, I'd be happy to try that. Please comment.
If it is compatible it will increase a bit in speed. However if there is any data corruption due to incompatible memory tech support will be unable to help recover that data.

Also, I did notice there was a 4.1.9-T2 beta firmware that people were having some success with, so I updated mine. IOMeter still shows Read 4MB/s and Write 11MB/ps..
Stay on 4.1.9-T2

Please use code tags as I just did quoting you when posting logs. Makes it easier to read posts.
As I suspected you last did a factory reset on RAIDiator 4.1.6 or earlier. You do not have 4k sector alignment. A lack of 4k sector alignment when you have 4k sector disks (which you do) will lead to performance issues.
Before further troubleshooting can take place, I would recommend you backup your data and do a factory default (note this wipes all data, settings, everything) via System > Update > Factory Default in Frontview.
