    I agree.  Also, the load cycle count for both drives is 0.

While green drives are not ideal for a NAS, they should not try and park while you are streaming from them, so I don't think that's your problem.  The lower rotation speed is also not likely the issue, as your older NAS has other factors that are likely the limiting factors.  Is the device on which you are viewing connected via hardwire or WiFi?

 

Given the age of your NAS and that it does not suport the latest security protocols, you probably should start thinking about a replacement.
