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've had the ReadyNAS for quite a few years. Home was struck by lightning and had to replace the ReadyNAS about 4 months ago because the ethernet port was fried by the lightning. Swapped the drives to the new readynas and I didn't lose any data. I've done a firmware update, but I'm going to back everything up starting today (about 1.7 TB) and start from scratch to see if it makes a difference. I'm using raid 5,would you recommend a different raid setup?

The NV+ actually uses RAID4 (dedicated parity disk) - the GUI does call it RAID5 though.
RAID5/XRAID is a good setup.

I'm glad you didn't. As I'm sure you know, you easily could have. Likely the NIC card acted like a fuse, and protected the drives.
