Readynas NV+ SLOW TRANSFER SPEED
ReadyNAS NV+ RAIDiator 4.1.15 4x 1TB WD Green Raid 5 PC is gigbit, but my transfer speed maxes out at 12MB/sec. I've tried connecting directly to the NAS, and no change in speed. Jumbo frames...

I'll begin backing up my NAS today after work (2pm cst). I don't doubt this could be the issue and I'll look at the logs tonight to verify. Thank you for the link and information.

Normally lack of 4K alignment hurts performance with 2 TB drives, not the 1 TB models you are using. Though it might impact performance with newer 1 TB disk models too - it depends on how they are constructed. The block size would only be an issue if the volume was created using RAIDiator 3.x firmware.
But if the volume is very old, you might find that a factory reset will improve the performance anyway.
Another place to look is at the network stats. If you are seeing ethernet errors or dropped packets, that is a clue that the issue is network related.
