Weird issues with ReadyNAS PRO & 3.0TB Drives

ReadyNAS PRO 6 BAY, firmware 4.2.18
Some folders I can read and write 100+ MBps and other folders I can read 100+ MBps but only write 100Kbps-300Kbps per sec.
Also, every time I perform a system restart (without the filesystem check turned on) the system performs a filesystem check anyway.
I'm a little concerned that the filesystem may eventually become corrupt at some point.

Recently upgraded hard drives to (6) 3.0TB Hitachi Drives
Model: Hitachi HUA723030ALA640
Firmware: MKAOA580

Netgear 24 Port Switch : GSM7224

Perfomed online upgrade with each of the drives as stated in directions, pulled one drive and replace with new drive, wait for resync to complete and repeat the process, took 1.5 days to complete upgrade and everything seems to be ok with exception of strange performance and filesystem repairs.

Prior to upgrading the drives I had (6) 1.0TB Western Digital drives installed and had no issues. Performance was consistent and no filesystem errors.

Did not perform a factory reset since I have data on the drives already. Is a factory reset necessary and if I do this will it make a difference/fix the problems?
Here is a clip of one of the filesystem check reports I get emailed to me automatically.

I have MAC OSX 10.6 & 10.7 as well as PCs WINXP and WIN7 accessing the ReadyNAS.

  • Hi mkeane

    I'm very new to the ReadyNAS Ultra 6 and have had some very strange things happen as well with the Hitachi HUA723030ALA640's. I have yet to successfully create a new volume (RAID 5) without having to wait for it resync for more than 15 hours. To add onto that I've had one of the drives show up as failed after the install. All this without even having any data on the drives. With your experience with the ReadyNAS Pro, and taking into account that these drives are not on the HCL from NetGear, what is your confidence level that these drives will work well with the unit?

    Thanks,

    Nate
