readynas RND2000 duo V2
He started to hang after the end of the guarantee, more often when downloading torrents, although I did not usually download more than two at the same time. I did OS REINSTALL after reinstalling the ...
Since the hangs continued after a factory default, it seems to me that this is more likely to be a hardware issue than a software one.
I'd start by testing the disks in a Windows PC (connecting with either SATA or a USB adapter/dock). WDC's lifeguard software is the best way to test the WD disk. I think you can also run the generic long test on the Toshiba using lifeguard. If you don't know the SMART stats on the drives, you should also look at those.
Another thing you could try is exercising the Duo w/o the torrent app installed. You could use NAS tester for this (setting a high number of loops). http://www.808.dk/?code-csharp-nas-performance

The day after the reboot, the speed drops. And so always. What could be the problem?

Well, it could be the torrent app. Your NAS doesn't have much memory, and the app might be using it all (perhaps due to a memory leak, perhaps something else).
So you could try rebooting, and not using the app on the NAS for a few days - and see if the speeds still drop.
Note that while Netgear distributed the transmission app, they didn't write it - it was written by someone in the forum community. And they don't support third-party apps either. So there isn't anything "officially Netgear" about the app.
Thanks. This torrent client reduces the speed. After it is turned off, everything works fine.
