Slow Upload Times
I just completed a very large shoot of a dance recital (~6,000 pics) and am trying to upload them using the option that allows me to load from files already on the NAS. It is taking more than 30 secs...

5.2 TB free or 5.2 TB used?
Note there is a drastic slowdown if the v2 is more than 80% full. If you have only .2 TB free, than you are at 97% full.
If you are 97% full the "solution" (arguably a work-around) is to archive 1 TB of data temporarily (perhaps to a USB drive) and delete it from the NAS. That should let you finish the project.
Then expand the volume, by replacing at least two of them (preferably 3) with 3 TB models. I suggest the WD RED WD30EFRX, be sure to google the forum on the specific drive model before you buy. Don't depend on the HCL alone.
BTW, do you have a backup?
