Slow share performance on my RN 104 since upgrading to 6.4.0
I upgraded to 6.4.0 two days ago, obviously now wishing I'd checked the forums first as my ReadyNAS was running fine on 6.2.5, but didn't think they'd send out such a poor release. Anyhow, I've s...
Well, that's great for you if you have all of that storage, but I don't. For my use case, yes, the data has value, but can't be backed up because I don't have 12TB+ of spare capacity (my RN104 has 4x 4TB drives).
FWIW, my use case is that the ReadyNAS contains ripped copies of my extensive DVD and BluRay collection for me to watch on my media streamer without needing to hop between discs. As I value quality, the rips are quite large and take time to encode, and so although they can be replaced from the original media, it would take many thousands of hours to do this as I've been building my collection for years.
But, I shouldn't need to justify any of this in order to get help and I agree that snarky comments from representatives of the company or forums aren't helping us get anywhere. Neither are my snarky comments back (obviously) but really, we're the customers here.
The bottom line for me is that Netgear "broke" the performance with a firmware update and they should be able to "fix" it with one too.
If they cannot do this, then they should tell us so. Definitively. Officially. Then we can all move on and this hassle and stress can be over.

I also have a reasonably large media collection, so I do understand the dilemma. It would be difficult to rebuild a collection like yours from scratch (and in my case some optical media has gone astray or been damaged over the years).
My main NAS has a 15 TB volume. As storage grew, I added corresponding backup capacity. Part of the path was shifting NAS I'd outgrown to backup devices. For a while I added extra drives to my two desktop pcs, and backed up NAS shares to them. Yes, it does cost extra.
My comment was not intended to be "snarky". At some point (in my experience anyway) the RAID array will fail. It is just a matter of how long that will take. My opinion is that you are undervaluing your media collection (and the labor it would take to rebuild it).
Also, I have never worked for Netgear, and do not represent Netgear in any way. I am also just a customer who happens to also be a mod.

While I hope they can restore the performance, I had a very old volume on the RN102, and decided to try the reset/restore.
