Transfering 930GB to USB 2,5 days normal?
See question in subject line and my settings in the signature. 2,5days for transferring 930MB directly to the USB-disk via the front contact seems a lot... Or is it as expected?

2.5 days for 930 MB is 4KB/second. That is approximately the speed of an Apple II floppy drive from 35 years ago... So no, it is not expected. Something is VERY wrong; the transfer should be around 1000 times faster.
You say that you are "transferring directly" to the USB disk. What does that mean, exactly? In other words, are you using SSH to access the NV+ Linux console and executing a "cp", or executing a Frontview backup job, or using the web interface, or using Windows Explorer to copy between two drive letters mapped from the NAS, or doing something else?
Are you transferring one large file, or many tiny files?
