ReadyNas NV+ v2 5.3.9 SLOWWWW
My ready NAS has never been considered "fast" (max 25mb when copying from the drive). It's got 4 Seagate 3TB 7200rpm / 64mb cache drives in it, GBit connection, etc ...Yesterday wife went to use it f...
I have gigabit direct connect, via a trendnet 8port hub, using a comcast business modem/router, and a gigabit Netgear WNDR3700 wireless router (though configured as an AP only).
This morning I got another notice that my 4th drive is now failing, though I looked yesterday at the stats on teh drives through the dashboard yesterday and they all showed no errors (as best i can tell), today it's failing.
Is there some kind of health check/scan I can do on the drives? I'm not really in a position to replace 4 hd's out of one paycheck, but these seagates were all bought at once and if they are going to start failing on me like this...
These drives are not heavy usage... maybe 2-3 hours per day use, rest is spent spun down..
*edit*
I upgraded to 5.3.10 t7 (?) beta FW (same results), and I'm doing tests between pc and nas over GBit ethernet. The existing drives are under warranty apparently still, so getting them replaced is no biggie, but with 2 failures in 1 week, i don't have much choice but replace them.
