Some music files corrupt after copying to NAS
Hi, I had my music library on my PC (windows XP, Doubletwist music player) and use a PS3. I'm also thinking of Sonos (or the like) to stream music. I bought a Duo V2, and for video it's been...
I used Teracopy and it's really good to show CRC mismatches etc. I was in some cases able to recopy and the CRC matched, however other times lots of CRC mismatches came up.
One thing I forgot to mention, was I used iTunes and bought an album - the iTunes library was on the NAS- it immediately had glitches. It was for the wife so she wasn't happy. I had to change my iTunes library to my PC and re-download from the Apple store.
Is this normal for a NAS? The whole point of me buying the ReadyNAS was to have a central point for music and video, however if I can't be sure if the data I put on is consistent what's the point?
Is this a problem with the disk?, or some setting that I'm missing? I don't know how to test the drive as chkdsk won't work on network drives (as I found out).
Sorry I'm not technical (which is why I thought I was buying a simple device that just 'worked') Looks like I was wrong.
UPDATE: A firmware upgrade hopefully has sorted it. Phoned Netgear support who (after saying my 90 days were up and I had to pay - a few sharp words and I had a complimentary support session) basically helped me upgrade the firmware. Ran a couple of tests that worked, but didn't before. I'm hoping this fixed it.
