I don't know if it would help you in your situation but we found that after we upgraded to 6.9.3 OS we had very slow save speeds. Strict sync had been disabled in the 638 OS but is enabled by default in the 6.9 OS. When we disabled the strict sync that problem was resolved. We are not using iscsi so I don't know if this is your issue but It is an easy setting to change and might be helpful. Here is the link to my post about the issue that references others who researched the problem originally. https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-in-Business/Slow-saves-for-Revit-2018-after-OS-upgrade-from-6-8-1-to-6-9-2/m-p/1557861#M8003

Thanks for your reply, but I'm not using SMB and tested sync writes on and off ono iSCSI too with no success.
Today I'm trying to run a backup and I get horrible performance and not constant. In the graph below up is IOPS and down Network.
It goes up, then drops and then slowly gets better, but nothing acceptable.
We'll dump Netgear stuff asap...

What about CoW, bit-rot protection and snapshots? Have those always been disabled on this LUN?
Is the LUN thin/thick?
