Trouble shooting slow network speeds on NV
I’ve had slow transfer speeds on my internal network for some time. I’ve upgraded some hardware and run a variety of tests and I still don’t think I’m getting the speeds I should. I’m out of ideas and...

mdgm,
Thanks for tracking that down. As I mentioned in the OP, this is the stock ram. Back in August 2010, I tried upgrading it to1 GB RAM that was on the HCL and the NV began spontaneously shutting down on a weekly basis. It took a while to figure out and you and papabear were helpful figurng that out. I had run all the memory test, but it didn't catch a problem. Here's the link to that thread viewtopic.php?f=20&t=45534. Even though Micron eventually RMA'd the RAM and I got a new 1GB module, the NAS was working fine by that point so I left the stock RAM in. I still have the RMA'd RAM so I guess I can test and try it.
Is there any way to verify the data integrity? I've recently backed everything up as full backups, so if there was data corruption I probably backed it up too. I haven't noticed any problems with files I open, music I'm playing etc...
Just to be clear, when you say
...you are saying I don't have a 4k issue. I don't think I should either. Just before updating the memory in August 2010, I had done a factory default because I was updating from Radiator 3.01 to 4.1.6 and needed to deal with the 4k issue. At that point, I loaded the new hitachi 2TB drives.
