    Hello SimonM1,

     

    Do you have any ISCSI configured on the NAS? Backup Job and 3rd party backup on computers pointing to the NAS as destination?

     

    May we also ask if all LAN machines get this same problem when connecting to the NAS?

It is a good idea to start with the disk health (smart logs) when you see performance issues.

 

Can you measure the speed with Nastester? http://www.808.dk/?code-csharp-nas-performance

 

Have you run the balance and defrag maintenance tools?  Also, it might help to delete unneeded snapshots before balancing/defragging.
