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 for streaming media and it couldn't connect. I checked the display on the NAS and it showed Spinning Down...after 15min of waiting (RAIDar wouldn't find it, couldn't ping it, and I had no idea how long it had been in spinning down status) I just pulled the power and rebooted it.
I decided to update the firmware while I was down there to 5.3.9, this morning I tried to copy something from the nas to my external USB3 drive (through my computer's USB3 port) and the most I could get was 300k.
Now after upgrading to 5.3.9 I noticed the display shows C: Unprotected, but no amount of google-fu tells me what that actually means. I see it mentioned in other posts, but nothing specifically addressing it.

- I'm coming up to a loss here, I've hooked 3 of the 4 drives so far to the PC and ran the extended tests on them (WD DataLifeguard tests) which take about 9hrs each, and all 3 have returned as being fine. If the 4th one passes tonight, what else can I do? Do I look at the NAS itself then?
- If you haven't opened a support ticket, you should.
Also, I suggest a direct connect test (which means connecting the NAS directly to the PC with no intermediate routers or switches). http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how ... _pc_or_mac
Do you have readynas remote installed on the PC? If so, try uninstalling it.
