Slow transfer with RN104
Hi there, I've been trying to help a friend set up a ReadyNAS 104 and we are experiencing a couple of problems. I have a ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus and the way of setting up the RN104 is quite different...

If you are using RAID-6 of course you will end up at 8 TB. You want RAID-5 (which is the default for X-RAID). Did you mistype?
Write speeds with RAID-5 should be on the order of 40 MB/s with antivirus protection off. RAID-6 speeds on the RN104 are a lot slower.
The NAS isn't fast enough to benefit from link aggregation, so I'd just connect one ethernet port and forget about that.
