ReadyNAS Pro HD Video Playback Issues
I am having problems playing videos on my new Mac Mini that I am using as an HTPC. My NAS is a ReadyNAS Pro (RNDP6000) with 3 x 1 TB hitachi ultrastar (HUA722010CLA330) drives and a 1.5 TB seagate...

I have actually been working on this for the past couple of days. I have a Motorola Netopia modem /router. I disabled the DHCP on it and let the Airport Extreme handle that. Everything is pointing to the Netopia for the DNS and the gateway.

I am not really sure where to go for this information on the NAS but i will be doing this next.
claykin wrote: What version of RAIDIATOR is on your Pro? "Latest" is not a version #.
Sorry, the reason why i said latest is because I have it set up to run automatic updates when new firmware is available. The NAS turns on daily so it is updated to the latest always. It actually updated today. I will be running some tests in the next couple of days to see if things get worked out under Version 4.2.19.

I had some SMART errors that were showing up every couple of weeks a while back but they have not increased in some time (more than 2 months). I have one disk with around 30 and another with about 140. BTW, this is out of 6 total disks in the NAS - I just looked back at the post and noticed that I missed 2 x 2TB drives in the array.
claykin wrote: Try swapping Ethernet cables. Disconnect other devices on the LAN.
I actually tried just having the NAS and the Mini on the Airport Extreme alone and not connected to the internet and I still had the same problems. I think this would be the best way to run tests and look at the logs to check for errors.
I think i covered all of your questions.
Thanks again.
