terrible write performance when almost full
Hi, I own a NV+ V2, and have been loving it so far. My issue has happened recently when the device is almost full. Basically, I can not write the last 70 GB free on the device. I have 4x spinpoint ...

There are some quite small mini dehumidifier systems that you re-charge by plugging them in. http://www.amazon.com/Remington-Model-3 ... B0028M3YU6 Many are targeted at gun owners.

Leaving the units powerd on is a good idea tho. Even if there is a salt buildup, it's not as corrosive dry, as it is when it's collecting condensation.
So that is potentially an option. The models I saw are too large to fit in a drive tray, but they are possibly useful if the NAS is in a small cabinet.
BTW, typical power use for an NV+ v2 is about 50 watts per http://www.netgear.com/images/ReadyNAS_ ... -57079.pdf. So your 100 watt number seems high. Are you seeing a larger power draw?
