RN104 Freezes when doing large transfers via USB 3.0 on 6.4.0
My RN10400 has been working great since purchase. However, I've never transferred over USB extensively; all of the data was loaded over the network. Now I have a large set of folders on a USB 3.0 HDD...

Hello,@Learning2NAS
In my case (erratic freezezs when writing large files on disk).
An upgrade to 6.4.1 RC1 + Factory reset (AKA factory reset under 6.4.1) solved the issue.
As a test I did went back from 6.4.1 to 6.4.0 stable (what a joke ;-) ) and it immediatly froze again.
So if you are up to wipe your NAS, try a factroy reset to 6.4.1 before trying to downgrade.
Please report the result of this, it would help a lot other contributors

Just found this thread (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/rn104-updated-to-6-4-0-and-possible-solution-to-random-lock-ups/td-p/993214/page/1) with LOTS of people experiencing the same issue I am, although in a variety of use cases. My unit only freezes on USB transfers, but it is consistent. Seems the only fix is to downgrade to 6.2.5.
Can anyone confirm before I wipe my unit? =(
