ReadyNAS Pro rebooting and resyncing, with file copy hangups and other issues

You may want to consider upgrading the processor on your Pioneer Pro. The Pentium 1.8GHz E2160 in it is a bit slow, and replacement Core2 processors are quite cheap these days. Mine are running a 2.93GHz Core2 E7500, which currently sells on eBay for about $5. Of course, if it's just as a backup system, it may not make too much of a difference.
If you do decide to upgrade the processor, make sure your BIOS is the latest. The fastest of the compatible CPU's need it and it's a lot easier to update while you are on OS4.2.x than on OS6.
Mentioning the competition, even that you own or may purchase one, is not a capital offense. Just don't advocate it.
Sandshark,
That's interesting about the inexpensive processor upgrade, also considering that the CPU might be what's causing the current trouble. Thanks for the tip!
I have favorites, but I try to not be a fanboy with any consumer products. I'm just trying to choose the best product for my needs in a crowded market. It is much more complex with something like an NAS, network speeds, backup strategies, etc. Phew!
On the topic of perfectionism and consumer choice, I often recommend a great book: The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less, by Barry Schwartz.
Peace,
